UN Suspends Aid Deliveries Through Main Gaza Crossing

Africa Business News

The UN agency providing aid to Palestinians says it is suspending deliveries through the main crossing between Israel and Gaza because of security concerns. The head of Unrwa, Philippe Lazzarini, says two recent convoys had been looted by armed gangs near the Kerem Shalom crossing and called on Israel to maintain law and order. Mr Lazzarini says the road away from the crossing "has not been safe for months", citing the theft of five more lorries on Saturday as well as the incident last month. He says there had been a "breakdown of law and order" and that the responsibility to protect aid workers lay with Israel.
