"Deadly Shelling at UN Aid Center in Rafah, Gaza Leaves 5 Palestinians Dead"

Five Palestinians were killed at a U.N. aid distribution center in Rafah, Gaza, after it was hit by shelling, prompting calls for an independent inquiry into violations against the Israeli military’s targeting of U.N. sites. The Commissioner-General of the UNWRA emphasized the need for protecting U.N. facilities and personnel, as the conflict has led to widespread displacement and competition for limited resources in Gaza.

"UK Demands Assurance on UNRWA Allegations Before Funding Resumes"

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron seeks an "absolute guarantee" from the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNWRA) that it will not employ staff involved in attacks on Israel, following allegations that some employees were linked to the October 7 violence. The UK, along with the US, has temporarily paused funding for UNWRA pending the results of the UN's internal investigation into the allegations, with Cameron emphasizing the need for a swift resolution due to the vital aid distribution role UNWRA plays in Gaza.
