International NGO resumes operations in Gaza

The NGO Anera announced that it is immediately resuming its humanitarian operations in Gaza, more than a week after it put a halt to its services there.

The organisation paused operations after the Israeli air strike that killed seven workers with charity World Central Kitchen, an incident that led to outrage in the US and Europe.

The resumption of services comes after the organisation said it received "specific assurances" from Israeli authorities, Anera said without elaborating.

"We are cautiously hopeful that the assurances we have received will match the demands for the full safety and security of aid workers in Gaza. We will remain vigilant for any indications that that safety is compromised," Anera said in a statement.
