Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

WFP Suspends Staff Travel in Gaza After Israel Attacks Convoy

HeadlineAug 29, 2024

The World Food Programme has suspended all staff movement across Gaza after Israeli soldiers opened fire on one of its vehicles, hitting it 10 times. The vehicle was clearly marked as belonging to the U.N. and was part of a convoy that the U.N. had coordinated with the Israeli military. This is U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric.

Stéphane Dujarric: “I think after this conflict is over — and we hope it’s over much sooner than later — there will need to be accountability. There will be boards of inquiry to look at the destruction of U.N. property, the death of U.N. personnel, notably our security colleague.”

The U.N. Security Council is meeting today to discuss the humanitarian crisis and the delivery of aid in Gaza.
