What are the allegations?
The main allegation against UNRWA is that some of its staff were involved in the October 7th attacks on Israel. This led to many countries, including the US, pausing funding for the agency, which is mentioned in our story about the Board of Peace. There have also been long-standing concerns about alleged Hamas influence within UNRWA.
