Unicef has raised the issue before the Israelis.

Unicef says one of its vehicles was hit by "live ammunition" while waiting to enter northern Gaza from the south of the territory on Wednesday.

In a statement released on X on Thursday, Unicef says the "incident has been raised with relevant Israeli authorities."

"Sadly, humanitarians continue to face risks in delivering lifesaving aid," the statement adds. "Unless humanitarian aid workers are protected, in accordance with IHL, humanitarian aid cannot reach people in need."
