UN Fires 9 UNRWA Staff for Possible Involvement in October 7, 2023 Hamas Attack
Aug 5, 2024, 05:48 PM
The United Nations has fired nine staff members from its agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, following an internal investigation that found they may have been involved in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. The investigation, conducted by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), revealed evidence suggesting the involvement of these employees in the armed attacks. The UN's decision to terminate their employment comes after months of scrutiny and allegations regarding UNRWA's ties to militant activities. This revelation has led to calls for further accountability and potential defunding of the agency, which has already faced a $450 million cut in funding.
