The UN’s coordinator for Gaza aid has said no organisation can “replace or substitute” the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency, employees of which were implicated in the October 7 attacks on Israel, AFP reports.

“There is no way that any organization can replace or substitute [the] tremendous capacity, the fabric of UNRWA — [their] ability and their knowledge of the population in Gaza,” said the recently appointed coordinator, Sigrid Kaag, referring to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
