The UN agency for Palestinian refugees on Saturday slammed the "shocking" suspension of funding by several donor countries following Israeli accusations that several UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 attack.

"It is shocking to see a suspension of funds to the agency in reaction to allegations against a small group of staff," UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement, adding that the "lives of people in Gaza depend on this support".
