The Hill Times
In the wake of the International Court of Justice issuing a historic ruling that accused Israel of potential genocide—a decision that garnered worldwide attention—Israel made headlines by alleging involvement of a few United Nations Relief and Works Agency staff members in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack. This prompted UNRWA to suspend the implicated employees, and launch an investigation to maintain its commitment to humanitarian principles.
Canadian charities, historically at the forefront of addressing this crisis, have relied heavily on UNRWA's indispensable role in providing essential aid during Gaza's darkest times, including during the conflicts of 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the ongoing war.
