AMMAN, Monday, May 13, 2024 (WAFA) - The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned today’s attack on a UN vehicle in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, which resulted in the killing of a staff member and the injury of a Jordanian employee as a result of Israel's expansion of its military operations in Rafah, according to Jordan’s Petra news agency.

The Ministry's spokesperson, Sufyan Qudah, called for the protection of UN and aid workers who play a major humanitarian role for the Palestinians in light of the unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip, said Petra.

He held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for this attack as a result of its ongoing raging war on Gaza.

Qudah said that the ministry is following up with the United Nations on the medical situation of the Jordanian citizen who was injured in this attack and on securing her exit from the Strip, added Petra.
