Another top donor to the UN agency aiding Palestinians has said it will resume funding, weeks after more than a dozen countries halted hundreds of millions of dollars in support in response to Israeli allegations against the organisation.

Sweden’s reversal came as a ship bearing tonnes of humanitarian aid was making preparations to leave Cyprus for Gaza after international donors launched a sea corridor to supply the besieged territory facing widespread hunger after five months of war.
