"UN Agency Takes Action Against Staff Linked to Oct. 7 Hamas Attack"
TL;DR Summary
The U.N. agency for Palestinian affairs, UNRWA, is terminating the contracts of several staff members following allegations that its workers participated in the Hamas attack on Oct. 7. The United States, UNRWA's largest donor, is pausing new funding for the agency while it reviews the allegations. The agency's commissioner general has ordered an investigation to establish the truth, and the U.S. has reached out to the Government of Israel for more information. The termination of workers and the investigation come as the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to do more to prevent civilian deaths in Gaza and allow more aid into the besieged enclave.
