Nine countries pause funding for UNRWA over allegations its staff were involved in the 7 October attacks.

Of course having evidence rather than hearsay would be too much to ask.
Meanwhile we have videos of IDF shooting unarmed civilians but that needs "investigations".
This is where terrorism comes from.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Since Israel began its offensive in response to the Hamas attacks UNRWA has used its facilities across Gaza to shelter hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians.
In a statement on Saturday, Mr Lazzarini said: "It is shocking to see a suspension of funds to the agency in reaction to allegations against a small group of staff, especially given the immediate action that UNRWA took by terminating their contracts and asking for a transparent independent investigation.
"It would be immensely irresponsible to sanction an agency and an entire community it serves because of allegations of criminal acts against some individuals, especially at a time of war, displacement and political crises in the region.
An adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday told the BBC that the 7 October Hamas attacks had involved "people who are on their [UNRWA] salaries".
But the Palestinian Authority's minister for civilian affairs, Hussein Al-Sheikh, said the decision by some countries to pause support for the vital UN agency "entails great political and humanitarian relief risks".
The 7 October attacks triggered Israel's massive retaliation on Hamas in Gaza - air strikes and shelling that have killed more than 26,000 Palestinians, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
The original article contains 696 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The information on UNRWA employees' alleged involvement in the Hamas attacks was supplied by Israel
This bit was left out of the summary.
Cynical take: maybe don't employ terrorists
Real take: UNRWA staffers will be busy scrubbing their socials for the next week instead of actually handing out aid. Of course, they aren't exactly distributing the aid anyways so I guess it will make fuckall difference. They'll complain about it and blame all their troubles on it anyways. Bottom line is that aid won't get to the people who need it until Hamas stops preventing it from reaching those in need.

You are like a flat earther at this point. Israel is preventing aid coming in. Why the fuck else would the court have ordered them to allow it in? Because arbitrary Israeli "checks" on humanitarian aid are preventing enough aid coming in and leaving innocent people starving.
You can keep saying that it's all because of Hamas all you like but most people see through this bullshit. It does help that government officials literally announced this as the plan to deal with the "animals" in Gaza
