Israel suspends UNICEF shipments from Egypt to Gaza

Israel says it has suspended UNICEF aid shipments to Gaza from Egypt after an attempt to smuggle tobacco and nicotine products to the enclave. COGAT, Israel’s military body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza, said it found the products while inspecting a UNICEF aid shipment Tuesday at the Kerem Shalom crossing. UNICEF did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
