UAE pauses Gaza aid route support after Israeli strike kills humanitarian workers

The United Arab Emirates is pausing humanitarian aid efforts through a maritime corridor from Cyprus to Gaza pending further safety guarantees from Israel and a full investigation into the deaths of aid workers in Gaza.
The official, who declined to be identified, gave no detail on the safety guarantees the UAE wants from Israel.
An Israeli strike killed seven people working for the World Central Kitchen aid group in Gaza.
The UAE has financed the aid shipments by sea to Gaza and WCK has organised them.
A UAE foreign ministry statement condemned the deaths of the aid workers and called for an "urgent, independent and transparent investigation." The UAE said it holds Israel responsible.
Israel eased a 17-year naval blockade on the Gaza Strip last month to allow seaborne aid from Cyprus for starving Palestinians.
