JAPAN and Austria suspended their funding of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees today, joining a growing list of countries that have done so despite warnings that the situation in Gaza is “extremely desperate.”

The United States, Britain, Germany and Italy are also among 10 nations which have cut off financial support for UNRWA following claims that some of its employees were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.

A document released by Israel lists 12 people with their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos.
