Recent revelations have sparked controversy around the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), with accusations that the agency has connections to terrorism. Critics, including public figures and organizations, have highlighted that UNRWA employees have been involved in terrorist activities, including the Oct. 7 attacks. Specific allegations include the employment of terrorist murderers by UNRWA, the use of its schools as weapons depots, and the ignorance of Hamas terror bases built under its facilities. Israel has charged that 10% of UNRWA staff is connected to Hamas, with 12 staff members participating in the Oct. 7 massacre, and claims that 1,200 staff in Gaza are members of terrorist groups, with 3,000 teachers involved. These accusations have led to calls for the defunding and dissolution of UNRWA, with a petition gathering 60,000 signatures supporting the agency's replacement.
At least 12 UNRWA employees had connections to the Oct 7 attack & 10% of its Gaza staff have terrorist ties. Not a cent of US tax dollars should fund a group connected to terror. I just signed @UNWatch’s petition to #ReplaceUNRWA. You can sign here too: https://t.co/Crk4mLwp10

UNRWA running a campaign claiming people can't say "I did not know" is the height of sick irony. As a reminder, @UNRWA employed terrorist murderers, allowed its schools to be used as weapons depots, and ignored the Hamas terror bases built under its facilities. https://t.co/th5Gw9JIZz
No one in @UNRWA can claim “I did not know” when your workers murdered, raped and kidnapped Israelis! We cannot turn a blind eye to UNRWA’s hypocrisy any longer. #DefundUNRWA https://t.co/x0T5nSkTG7
