United Nations says nine employees 'may have' been involved in October 7 attack

ABC  

The United Nations has fired nine staff members from UNRWA, its agency for Palestinian refugees, after an internal investigation found they "may have" been involved in the Hamas-led October 7 attack against Israel. The UN's internal watchdog has been investigating the agency since Israel in January accused 12 UNRWA staffers of being involved in the October 7 attack on Israel, in which terrorists killed 1,200 people and abducted some 250 others. "I have decided that in the case of these remaining nine staff members, they cannot work for UNRWA," the agency's head Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement. "The agency's priority is to continue lifesaving and critical services for Palestine refugees in Gaza and across the region, especially in the face of the ongoing war, the instability and risk of regional escalation," said Mr Lazzarini, who also said he condemned the October 7 attack.
