A Palestinian woman prepares the dough to bake bread at a tent near the ruins of her house which witnesses said were destroyed by Israel shelling during a 50-day conflict last summer, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip January 27, 2015. The main U.N. aid agency in the Gaza Strip said on Tuesday a lack of international funding had forced it to suspend payments to tens of thousands of Palestinians for repairs to homes damaged in last summer's war. Robert Turner, Gaza director of operations for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), said in a statement that UNRWA received only $135 million of the $720 million pledged by donors to its cash assistance program for 96,000 refugee families whose homes were damaged or destroyed in the 50-day conflict between the Hamas Islamist movement and Israel.
