UN warns of withdrawal of funds from Gaza



Top UN officials have wa ed that cutting funding to Gaza's main aid agency could lead to the collapse of the humanitarian system.

The United States, the United Kingdom and other countries have been notified of the funding over the issues surrounding the role of UN staff in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

Several of its staff were dismissed by the United Nations on those charges.

It also states that an investigation is underway into its agency for Palestine refugees, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel has found 13 UNRWA employees who directly or indirectly participated in the October 7 attack on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

But the United States, UNWRA's biggest donor, has said it wants to see the aid agency continue its work.
