UK, US, and other countries halt aid to UN agency over Israeli allegations

“There are one million people tonight. Women, children, the elderly, the wounded, the sick babies, the dying. They’re the one’s who urgently need Unrwa’s humanitarian assistance tonight”. Former chief spokesman for Unrwa, Chris Gunness, joined presenter Ciaran Jenkins on Channel 4 News, discussing the UK, US, and a growing number of countries’ decision to suspend aid to the UN’s refugee agency. Claims by Israel that 12 employees of the United Nations agency for Palestine refugees (Unrwa) took part in the October 7 attack on southern Israel have prompted several countries to pause funding to the agency. The agency said it was investigating the possible involvement of its own staff in the October 7th attacks on Israel.
