"MSF Condemns Deliberate Attack on Gaza Convoy, Puts Thousands of Lives at Risk"

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) strongly condemns the deliberate attack on their convoy in Gaza, resulting in the death of one staff member's relative and injuring another. The convoy, consisting of MSF Palestinian staff members and their families, was attempting to evacuate 137 people who had been trapped for a week near Al-Shifa hospital due to ongoing fighting. Despite informing both parties to the conflict and following the Israeli army's designated route, the convoy was not allowed to cross a checkpoint for hours. On their way back, the convoy was attacked, prompting MSF to call for the urgent evacuation of their staff and thousands of other trapped civilians, as well as an immediate ceasefire to ensure safe corridors for evacuation.

US Embassy Staff Rescued After Convoy Attack in Nigeria

Two employees of the US Mission in Nigeria have been found "alive and safe" under the protection of Nigerian authorities in Anambra, days after an attack on a US convoy left seven others dead. The other seven members of the convoy, including three other employees of the US Mission and four police officers, were killed in the attack. The motive for the attack is still unknown, but the US Mission is working closely with Nigerian security and law enforcement to identify the victims and bring those responsible to justice.
