Last month, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) revealed that it was investigating allegations against employees being involved in Hamas' on-the-ground massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7.

The allegations were spelt out in an Israeli intelligence document and also accused more than 180 of the UNRWA's 13,000 employees were affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hamas – the proscribed terrorist group that has governed Gaza since 2007.
