Austria will release funds to the UN’s Palestinian relief organisation UNRWA that were blocked after allegations agency staff were involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel, Reuters reports.

“After a thorough analysis of the action plan, we will release funds to UNRWA again,” the Austrian foreign ministry said.

Funds totalling $3.70 million have been budgeted for 2024, with the first payment due to be made in the summer, it added.
