The United Nations has sacked nine UNRWA staff members it says may have been involved in the October 7th attacks on Israel. It comes as Israel returns the bodies of 89 Palestinians to Gaza who couldn't be identified due to the advanced level of decomposition.
The United Nations says nine employees of its agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, may have been involved in the October 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas.
It launched the investigation after Israel claimed 12 UNRWA staff took part in the attacks which triggered the most recent war in Gaza.
Israel intensified its accusations in March, saying more than 450 UNRWA staff were military operatives in Gazan militant groups.
UN spokesman Farhan Haq says those nine members of staff have been dismissed but the organisation will need to evaluate any further steps to fully corroborate the allegations.
