UNRWA website: The Commissioner-General ad interim of UNRWA, Christian Saunders, took the decision to terminate the employment of 70 UNRWA staff members in Gaza with immediate effect.

The decision was taken further to an assessment of the safety and security of UNRWA operations in Gaza.

UNRWA has repeatedly asked the Israeli authorities to provide information and evidence to substantiate allegations against individual UNRWA staff members in Gaza but has received no response to date.

The dismissal of the staff is not part of a disciplinary process and does not constitute in any way a validation of the claims made against them.

The decision was taken in the interests of the Agency as provided for by UNRWA’s legal framework. Its purpose is to mitigate safety and security risks for the refugees the Agency serves under its mandate and for UNRWA personnel and premises.
