UNRWA Commissioner-General: We are not aware of the existence of tunnels under our buildings. UNRWA inspects its buildings every three months “when the area is not witnessing an active conflict,” and that the last inspection in the sector was in September 2023.

Several countries - led by the United States in addition to the European Union - decided to suspend funding for UNR WA, based on Israeli allegations that 12 of the agency’s employees participated in the Hamas attack on October 7.
