An official UNRWA statement sent to reporters said the humanitarian organization decided to suspend providing Gaza Strip population with its aid after Israel targeted its schools and food-laden trucks.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army fired two surface-to-surface shells at a school run by the organization that shelters dozens of families in the northern Gaza Strip refugee camp of Jabalia, killing more than 40 civilians.
Earlier, three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on another school in the beach refugee camp in western Gaza City. A UNRWA employee was killed in a third strike on one of the schools.
Also on Thursday, Israeli soldiers opened fire at a UNRWA food-laden truck in northern Gaza Strip, killing the driver and wounding another worker in the truck.
