Israeli intelligence report claims four UNRWA staff in Gaza involved in Hamas kidnappings
==========

Israeli intelligence documents allege that four employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza were involved in kidnapping Israelis, while another worker provided logistics support. The report also claims that approximately 10% of UNRWA employees in Gaza are Hamas operatives and about 50% are first-degree relatives with a Hamas member. Critics argue that the number of staff allegedly involved is a small percentage of the agency's overall workforce. Several countries, including the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia, have suspended funding to UNRWA pending further investigation. UNRWA's commissioner general has terminated the contracts of the accused staff and ordered an investigation. The move to cut funding has been criticized by other aid organizations as a form of collective punishment.
