The affected staff have been fired. We have sufficient information to be able to take the measures we are taking – that is, the dismissal of these nine individuals, says spokesperson Farhan Haq. However, he emphasizes that the organization will need to evaluate further to be able to confirm it “completely”. It is the UN’s internal audit Oios that is behind the review, which was carried out after Israel accused a total of 19 Unrwa employees of possibly being involved in the bloody attack. Many countries suspended their support for UNRWA following the allegations. Several of them, including Sweden, have subsequently decided to resume their support. UNRWA, which has provided essential aid to Palestinian refugees since 1949, has long been criticized by Israel.
