UNRWA employees preemptively dismissed #gaza #unrwa #unitednations
Tamara Alrifai, a spokeswoman of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, says while it dismissed nine of 12 UNRWA employees accused by Israel of taking part in the October 7 attacks, the move was made “preemptively” while investigations were under way.

“They were dismissed upon allegations preemptively. These now-former employees have the right of recourse in case the findings are in their favour,” Alrifai told Al Jazeera.

She noted Israel is aware of the identities of all its 13,000-member staff, emphasising the “sturdy recruitment” process and security checks carried out on each one.

“UNRWA shares the full list of names of its staff in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem with Israel every year. So the list of our staff is known to the government of Israel. Host governments, including Israel, may come back to us with concerns over staff. We have not received concerns from the state of Israel upon their receiving these lists on an annual basis.”
