The United Arab Emirates is suspending its humanitarian aid operations via the maritime route until further assurances of safety and a comprehensive investigation are conducted, a UAE official told Reuters.
Seven people employed by the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid organisation in Gaza were killed in an Israeli attack on Monday.
The UAE has served as the principal financial backer for aid delivered to Gaza through a maritime route, with WCK organising these missions.
