Sweden and Canada have announced the resumption of aid payments to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, after a temporary halt due to allegations against UNRWA staff. Sweden pledges £15 million initially, with Canada also restarting funding. The move comes amidst investigations into UNRWA's staff following accusations related to a Hamas attack. UNRWA's chief warns of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and expresses hope for more donor support. Meanwhile, efforts to deliver aid via sea routes and reports of abuse of Palestinians underscore the complex situation in the region.
