Human Rights Watch – (New York) –
Governments should continue funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), given its vital role in
averting a humanitarian catastrophe and the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip,
while the agency investigates allegations that 12 of its staff were involved in
the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel, Human Rights Watch
said today.
