UAE pausing aid through maritime corridor pending investigation

The United Arab Emirates is pausing humanitarian aid efforts to the Gaza Strip through the maritime corridor pending further safety guarantees and a full investigation, a UAE official told Reuters.

An Israeli strike killed seven people working for the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid group in Gaza on Monday.

The UAE has been the main financier for aid through a maritime corridor to Gaza and WCK had arranged the missions.
