UNRWA to renew aid to Palestinian refugees in Gaza Strip
United Nations agency responsible for distributing aid to 600,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said Wednesday that it would renew shipments after reaching an arrangement with Israeli security.

The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said it had stopped the shipments due to Israeli restrictions at the Karni crossing into the Gaza Strip that made it prohibitively expensive to continue bringing in food.

A military official said in response that food shipments were already renewed about a week after they were suspended on April 1. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.

Earlier, Israel charged that UNRWA created an artificial crisis by stopping shipments before talking to Israeli officials about the problem.
