UNRWA Funding in Jeopardy as UN Staffers Face Allegations

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres vows to hold any UN employee involved in acts of terror accountable, following allegations of UNRWA staffers' involvement in Hamas attacks on Israel. Guterres urges governments to continue supporting UNRWA despite funding pauses by nine countries, emphasizing the importance of meeting the desperate needs of the populations served. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini also appeals for reconsideration of funding suspensions, stating that sanctioning the agency and the community it serves due to allegations against some individuals would be immensely irresponsible.
