London: The UK is “temporarily pausing any future funding” for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the British government has said in a statement.
It came after Israel accused some of the UN agency’s employees of participating in the attack launched by Hamas on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, Xinhua news agency reported.
The country’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said in the statement on Saturday that the UK was “appalled” by the allegations, and the funding for the agency would be halted “whilst we review these concerning allegations”.
