STORYLINE:
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees delivered more aid across Gaza on Tuesday despite Israel terminating an agreement facilitating its work.

In the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, volunteers from UNRWA – the biggest aid provider in Gaza – were seen handing out boxes of aid to Palestinians queuing outside.

A Palestinian father in the queue said he worried the quantity of food in an aid parcel would not meet the needs in his family.

"It will not be enough for a man, his wife and his two for a week or five days. So what do you think about someone who has ten family members? I have nine people. How and what will they eat?" Ata Abu al-Reesh said.

Palestinians fear that UNRWA’s banning by Israel will further hamper the already fragile aid distribution process across war-ravaged Gaza.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that it notified the U.N. of the cancellation of an agreement dating back to 1967 that facilitates UNRWA’s work.

The move by the foreign ministry appeared to be the first step in implementing legislation passed last month that would sever ties with the agency, which Israel says has been infiltrated by Hamas, and prevent it from operating in Israel.

UNRWA denies the allegations and says it takes measures to ensure its neutrality.
