end of list<\/span><\/section>\nAs the world’s attention focuses on the United States-Israel war over Iran, Israel is continuing its attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has seen almost daily Israeli shelling and attacks since a fragile ceasefire was reached in October, killing more than 700 Palestinians according to Gaza’s health ministry.<\/p>\n
Monday’s incident occurred in an area close to the so-called Yellow Line in eastern Khan Yunis, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.<\/p>\n
Israeli forces fired “indiscriminately” at people and vehicles moving on Salah al-Din Street in the southern Gaza Strip, he said.<\/p>\n
A commercial vehicle was transporting civilians between southern and central Gaza. Mahmood said, after this a car carrying WHO employees came.<\/p>\n
“The driver was shot in the head and by the time he was taken to al-Aqsa hospital, he was declared dead,” the correspondent reported from Gaza City. He said seven or so other people were injured.<\/p>\n
Translation: Qamar Majdi Mustafa Aslan (54 years old), resident of Burij camp, who passed away after being wounded in the crossfire targeting a World Health Organization vehicle on Salah al-Din Street, east of Khan Yunis city.<\/em><\/p>\nWHO did not immediately confirm whether the person killed was a staffer, but said in a statement emailed to Al Jazeera that “this morning, a serious security incident occurred in Gaza which is being reviewed by the relevant authorities”.<\/p>\n
“As a result of this serious security incident, today’s medical evacuation from Gaza to Egypt via Rafah is halted with immediate effect until further notice,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
WHO has been overseeing coordination between Egypt and Israel since the opening of the Rafah crossing, which has allowed a small number of injured Palestinians desperate for medical aid to seek treatment abroad.<\/p>\n
However, Israel continues to limit the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged region, as well as closing key crossings in the early days of the US-Israeli war over Iran.<\/p>\n

On Monday, in the southern part of Khan Yunis, a Palestinian man with special needs died after being shot by Israeli soldiers.<\/p>\n
To the north, a drone strike in Gaza City killed one person, Mahmoud said.<\/p>\n
“The target was an electric bike… roaming in the area that was hit by the drone missiles. It killed a 36-year-old man… who was roaming around the displacement camps,” he said.<\/p>\n
The correspondent said that a child was also injured in the attack and is now in a critical condition in the hospital.<\/p>\n
Two Palestinians were also killed in Israeli drone strikes on the Yarmouk and Shujaiya neighborhoods, according to a medical source at al-Shifa hospital.<\/p>\n
Sources in Gaza hospitals have reported the deaths of eight Palestinians in Israeli airstrikes outside Israeli-controlled areas since Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
