Predicted high waves and stormy seas have prompted the United States to temporarily remove a pier it set up to provide humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip.

Geneva (AFP) - The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said on Tuesday that $267 million in its funding was still suspended over allegations some UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The accusations in January led to many donors freezing some $450 million in funding at a time when Gaza's 2.3 million people are in dire need of food, water, shelter and medicine. Many countries have since resumed their donations, while others have not -- including the United States, which passed a law blocking funding until at least March 2025. "It's money we were aware whi...
