UNRWA says Emily Damari’s allegations she was held in its facilities ‘grave,’ demand probe
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees tells Ynet that freed hostage Emily Damari’s allegation that she was held in UNRWA facilities are “very grave allegations” that must be investigated.
In comments published by Ynet in Hebrew, a spokeswoman says it is relieved that Damari has been reunited with her family, and says UNRWA “has called repeatedly for independent investigations into allegations of misuse and disregard for UN facilities by Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas.”
