The United Nations announced on Monday that nine employees from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) are believed to have been involved in the Hamas attack on October 7 in southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people, including over 30 Americans. The U.N. Secretary General's spokesperson stated that there was sufficient evidence to suggest the potential involvement of these individuals in the tragic event.
Following the investigation conducted by the U.N.'s Office of Internal Oversight Services, it was decided that the world body would terminate its association with UNRWA, an agency dedicated to supporting Palestinian refugees. Out of the 19 staff members investigated, only nine were found to have possible links to the attack, leading to their dismissal.
