Four Gaza police killed in Israeli airstrikes

Israeli airstrikes killed four police officers escorting aid trucks in central Gaza.

Four police officers in the vehicle were killed when a police vehicle escorting a flour-laden relief truck in central Gaza was bombed by Israeli forces on the night of the 23rd local time.

The bodies of the policemen were taken to Aqsa Hospital.

Aid groups, including the U.N. Palestinian Refugee Agency, say they are having difficulty delivering aid supplies such as winter supplies due to the lack of safety for aid vehicles and others.

Earlier this month, the U.N. refugee agency said it would stop delivering aid via major cargo routes into Gaza due to threats from gunmen who looted the convoy.

The U.N. refugee agency blamed the collapse of law and order mostly on Israeli policy.
