President Michael D Higgins has condemned attacks on aid convoys providing humanitarian relief to Gaza.

Israeli protesters blocked aid trucks headed for Gaza yesterday, throwing food packages on the road in the latest in a series of incidents that have come as Israel has pledged to allow uninterrupted humanitarian supplies into the besieged enclave.

"In Rafah, a vehicle clearly marked with the United Nations emblem came under fire, killing a UN staff member and injuring others. President Higgins said that Human Rights Watch today issued a report demonstrating how the incidents are not isolated. Israel is stepping up an offensive in the southern border city where more than a million people had been sheltering after being displaced in seven months of war.
