Thank you for sharing this news! So many major contributors (including my home nation of Canada) were far too quick to blacklist the whole of UNRWA based on unproven allegations against 12 of about 12,000 (!) staff in Gaza. Especially given the urgency of the humanitarian situation there. It is undeniably important to make sure there are investigations, but the countries that suspended aid sure acted quickly and dramatically given the lack of conclusive evidence. I really hope this spurs other nations to follow suit, and comes with a big serving of humble pie and healthy skepticism regarding future claims.
