What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Reports indicate that Hamas allegedly infiltrated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Organizations including the USAID Office of Inspector General and NGO UN Watch uncovered evidence of this alleged infiltration and members' participation in the October 7, 2023 terror attacks. Consequently, Finland announced it would discontinue funding to UNRWA at the end of 2026.
