"International Donors Resume Funding for UNRWA Amid Gaza Hunger Crisis"
Sweden has announced it will resume funding for the UN agency aiding Palestinians, following similar decisions by the EU and Canada, as a ship prepares to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The move comes amid warnings of a humanitarian collapse in Gaza, with the UN agency facing severe funding shortages. The situation in Gaza has worsened after the war, with hunger and malnutrition leading to deaths, prompting international efforts to deliver aid through sea and air corridors due to Israeli restrictions on ground deliveries. Meanwhile, President Biden has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's approach to the conflict, and efforts to reach a cease-fire before Ramadan have stalled.
