This was a complete fiasco that should not have happened.

I hope international pressure will now force Israel to stop sidelining and hampering UNRWA and its relief efforts especially in the north, where it has blocked UNRWA from entering to distribute aid. That's played a huge part in the malnutrition/starvation there over the last few months.

Most other countries that fell in lock-step to cut-off aid have now resumed it. The U.K. will make a decision following the official release of the UN report. The U.S. Congress passed a bill in March that provided for a one-year ban on UNRWA funding.
