Luxembourg will continue to provide funding to the main United Nations agency in Gaza despite allegations that some of its staff were involved in Hamas’ Oct 7 attacks, the country’s foreign minister has said.
“We won’t stop the help now because in Gaza, they need support for the moment and it’s the civilian victims who, again are the victims if there is no UNRWA support for the moment,” CNN quotes Xavier Bettel as saying on arrival at a doorstep interview at the EU Council in Brussels.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) fired several employees in the wake of the allegations made by Israel, which have not been made public.
