Canada is putting a pause on funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) following allegations that some of its members were involved in the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks against Israel.
“Canada has temporarily paused any additional funding to UNRWA while it undertakes a thorough investigation into these allegations,” Minister of International Development Ahmed Hussen said in a release posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 26.
