The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided the State Department with a list of 101 current and former UNRWA employees suspected of ties to Hamas. The list also includes individuals potentially involved in the October 7, 2023 attack. These allegations concern staff within the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). If the suspicions are verified, those implicated could be barred from working with US-funded organizations. The US government is currently reviewing the information provided by USAID. This development raises serious concerns about the neutrality and security protocols within UNRWA. Further investigation is expected to determine the extent of the alleged connections and potential consequences.
