The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) has urged the countries that said they were suspending the support for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) to immediately reverse their decision“, Al Jazeera reports.

A number of Western countries have announced such steps after UNRWA said it had opened an investigation after Israel alleged some employees were involved in the October 7 attacks.

PLO Secretary General Hussein AlSkeikh said the countries’ decision “entails great political and humanitarian relief risks”.

“At this particular time and in light of the continuing aggression against the Palestinian people, we need the maximum support for this international organization and not stopping support and assistance to it,” he wrote on X.
