"International Aid Cuts to UNRWA Amid Allegations of Staff Involvement in Hamas Attack"

Several countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, have cut funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after 12 of its employees were accused of involvement in a Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on October 7. The U.S. has temporarily paused additional funding pending a UN investigation, while other countries have joined the boycott. Israeli intelligence led to the accusations, prompting widespread decisions to hold UNRWA accountable for its alleged role in the attack.
