Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has stressed the UAE's “unwavering support” for the humanitarian work of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees following Israeli claims that some of its employees were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack.
He highlighted the UNRWA's key role in delivering crucial aid to embattled Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip during a call on Tuesday with the agency's commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini.
Sheikh Abdullah commended the body's prompt action in investigating the allegations made against staff members, state news agency Wam reported.
He also stressed that the matter should not have negative repercussions on the UNRWA's humanitarian efforts in Gaza, where about 1.9 million have been displaced due to the continuing conflict.
The agency is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN member states.
