Now nine employees have been fired. Reuters reports. – For nine people, the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved in the attacks on 7 October, says Farhan Haq, spokesperson for the UN. It is unclear what role the employees are said to have had in the attack on 7 October last year, when Hamas carried out a large-scale attack against Israel in which 1,150 people were killed. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has been accused by Israel over several months of the fact that employees of the organization participated in the attack on 7 October. Many countries froze aid while the allegations were investigated. Most countries have later concluded that Israel has not provided evidence for the allegations and have therefore resumed payments to UNRWA. In July, Norway increased its support to UNRWA by NOK 100 million. Norway’s contribution this year is now NOK 475 million. Published 05/08/2024, at 18.49 Updated 05.08.2024, at 19.06
