United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres vows to hold accountable any U.N. employee involved in acts of terror, including refugee agency staffers implicated in the abhorrent alleged acts of the Hamas attacks. Guterres implores governments to continue supporting the U.N. refugee agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) despite funding pauses. The U.N. chief emphasizes the need for criminal prosecution and cooperation with a competent authority. He also highlights the dire needs of the populations served by UNRWA and provides details about the terminated and deceased employees. Several countries, including the United States and Germany, pause funding to the critical aid agency.
