UNICEF says one of its vehicles was hit by "live ammunition" while waiting to enter North Gaza from the South on Wednesday.

An Australian spokesperson for the aid organisation, former Australian Financial Review reporter Tess Ingram, told Al Jazeera she was "really lucky" not to have been hit by bullets fired from an Israeli checkpoint.

Ingram said bullets hit the car next to her passenger door, the window, and the bonnet of the car she was in.

"We were on a coordinated mission to try and deliver fuel to water wells in the north, and lifesaving nutrition and medical supplies to Kamal Adwan Hospital," she said.

She said the vehicle had left Rafa after some delays, before arriving at a designated holding point where UN vehicles are made to wait until the checkpoint is ready to receive them. 

"We were waiting there when gunfire broke out in the vicinity," she told Al Jazeera.

"Gunfire came from the direction of the checkpoint towards civilians, who then ran away from the checkpoint, and the gunfire hit us.

"We had some colleagues outside of the car checking a mechanical problem with the nutrition trap when the fire broke out, and they had to run back to our armoured vehicle.

"Fortunately, they were safe.

"But three bullets hit the car that I was in right on my passenger door, the window and also the bonnet of the car."

She said it was just another example of "how unsafe it is for humanitarian aid workers, and how missions like these are made impossible". 

"Safety is not guaranteed, even when we take all of the required steps, as we saw with the tragic World Central Kitchen incident," she said.

UNICEF has raised the incident with the relevant Israeli authorities.

Australians ate seven per cent fewer vegetables last year compared to the year before, according to concerning new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

That equates to 14 grams fewer vegetables a day per person.

Daily consumption of fruit fell by a similar amount of 12 grams a day, equivalent to an eight per cent overall reduction.

Australia's dietary guidelines recommend eating at least five serves of vegetables every day, which equates to around 600 grams.

But in 2022-23, Australians only purchased an average of 186 grams of vegetables each day, down from 200 grams the previous year.

Overall, we purchased almost four per cent less food in 2022-23 than in the year before, as inflation and the rising cost of living placed increasing pressure on household food budgets.

But while consumption of most categories of fresh produce fell, sales of other food items rose.

Potato chip sales have risen 16 per cent in the last five years, chocolate sales are up 10 per cent and cereals and convenience meals – which includes pre-prepared meals such as pizzas, pasta and sushi – are up nine per cent.

The ABS also said chicken dishes like nuggets have increased by 2.6 per cent.

"Many of the foods that dropped during 2022-23 are part of longer-term trends," ABS health statistics spokesperson Paul Atyeo said.

"We're consuming between five and eight per cent less cow's milk, bread and fruit juice per person compared to 2018-19."

A man who shot dead one man and kidnapped two others in a drug-fuelled rampage has been sentenced to 28 years in jail.

Christopher Hillman, 45, pleaded guilty to the murder of Jake Williams who he shot in the neck after an argument.

The pair had been at a house in Frankston in Melbourne's southeast on September 18, 2021, often used as a "drop-in" for drug use.

Victorian Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth on Friday ordered Hillman to spend 28 years in prison for his crimes.

This included 23 years for murder, 18 months for firearm offences, six months for assault and five years for each kidnap.

The two men were in a bedroom with others smoking meth when an argument broke out over comments Williams made about another friend.

The row escalated and the other occupants left the room when Hillman grabbed a shotgun, pointed the barrel at Williams' legs and threatened to shoot.

As Williams turned his back to exit the room, Hillman fired the gun and hit him in the neck, killing him.

Hollingworth said the killing was part of a "brief, spontaneous, drug-fuelled altercation".

"(Williams' behaviour) did not justify resorting to violence, let alone lethal violence," she said.

She said while Hillman had apologised to his kidnapping victims, even during the act, he had expressed little remorse for killing Williams.

After the murder, Hillman then left the house with one person recounting how he had blood on his face and was apologising for shooting the victim.

Police found Williams' body in a pool of blood during a welfare check, sparking a manhunt for the killer.

Hollingworth said Hillman had been made paranoid by his long history with police, including being assaulted by officers as a teenager.

"You can't moderate mood, experienced brief psychotic episodes … (which is) worsened by drugs," she said.

"You believe your fear of police is well founded.

"You often think members of the public are staring at you, conspiring with police or making fun of you."

Hillman had entered additional guilty pleas to two charges of kidnapping, one charge of assault and possessing a firearm.

He was on the run from police following the shooting and had been deemed dangerous.

He threatened a man who was at the house on the night, holding a gun to him as he demanded he drive him to another home.

Six days after the murder, high on ice and in a state of paranoia, Hillman kidnapped two innocent people in Frankston, held them at gunpoint and demanded to be driven to Seaford.

The male kidnapping victim no longer feels safe living at home and is constantly anxious.

Hillman was eventually captured after calling police from the home of an ex-partner where he admitted shooting Williams.

Officers found him unconscious in the roof space of the home after consuming drugs.

Hollingworth said the sentences would run partially concurrent and result in a 28-year total.

This would include the almost three years Hillman has already served
