Russia calls for investigation into allegations against UNRWA staff
Allegations that some staff from the UN refugee agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) were involved in the October 7 massacre in Israel should be investigated, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says.
A series of countries including the United States, Germany and Britain have paused their funding to the agency, following the allegations by Israel, which Washington has called “highly credible.”
The agency said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees and severed ties with those people.
