UN agency suspends operations after Hamas ministry steals 10 truckloads of food from crossing
UNRWA had suspended imports of goods on Friday after accusing Hamas of twice seizing aid supplies.
"The Hamas authorities in Gaza have returned to the UNRWA warehouses in Gaza City and Rafah all of the aid supplies," said UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness.
UNRWA had accused Hamas of taking blankets, food and other goods from a warehouse and 10 aid trucks. Hamas denied it confiscated any supplies from UN premises.
The UN is under pressure to show international donors that it is independent of Hamas as it seeks funding to rebuild the territory after Israel's crushing three-week military offensive.
