Italy restores UNWRA funding
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 March 2025
Template:Edit extended-protected Under the section **"Relationship with Hamas"**, add the following subsection:
- UNRWA Staff Involvement in the October 7 attack
On January 26, 2024, UNRWA announced that Israel had provided information implicating twelve of its staff members in the October 7 massacre.[1] In response, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini stated that the organization had dismissed the employees linked to the allegations and affirmed that any staff member found involved in terrorist activities would face consequences.[2]
Israel further claimed that UNRWA facilities and vehicles were used in carrying out the attack.[3] On February 2, 2024, *The Wall Street Journal* reported that Israeli intelligence estimated approximately 1,200 UNRWA employees in Gaza were members or affiliates of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, whether in their civilian or military wings.[4]
Israel also presented evidence showing at least 12 UNRWA employees directly participated in the massacre, including recordings[5] and photographs[6][7] documenting their involvement in the destruction and violence on that day. One video reportedly shows an UNRWA employee dragging the body of an Israeli civilian in Kibbutz Be'eri.[8]
On August 5, 2024, the UN released findings from its investigation, concluding that out of 19 employees under review, nine UNRWA staff members would be dismissed for possible involvement in the October 7 attack.[9] The observer 101 (talk) 11:04, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

- In case another extended-confirmed comes along, I am busy checking all sources right now.
- First link was dead, this is the correct address: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-palestinian-refugee-agency-investigates-staff-suspected-role-israel-attacks-2024-01-26/
- Second link addresses the humanitarian situation in Gaza, operational challenges, and calls for support. It does not mention the dismissal of staff or consequences for terrorist activities.
- Third link is dead. Furthermore, it is a liveblog entry.
- Fourth link: Page not found.
- I give up for now. I can see that these happenings are not coherently described in the article about UNWRA and the proposed section would be good to have, but the sources need to be fixed. I won't close the request yet, to give The observer 101 or other editors the chance to find better sources. If you do so, please also check sources 5-8.
