The UK will temporarily pause funding to the UN's relief agency in Gaza over claims members were involved in Hamas' attack on Israel.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said on Friday it sacked "several" employees over accusations by Israel that 12 employees were involved in the 7 October attack.
In the wake of the allegations, the Foreign Office says it is "temporarily pausing any future funding of UNRWA whilst we review these concerning allegations".
The UK's decision comes after the US, Italy, Australia and Canada also suspended additional funding for the UN aid agency.
