Refugee organization UNRWA has terminated the contracts of a number of employees after the organization was informed by Israel that these people may have been involved in the Hamas attacks on October 7.
“Israeli authorities have provided us with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA staff in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7,” said Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
“To protect the organization’s ability to provide humanitarian assistance, I have made the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these personnel and initiate an investigation to uncover the truth as quickly as possible.”
