The UK, along with the US, Australia, Italy, and Canada, has paused funding to the UN agency aiding Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, due to allegations of staff involvement in a Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, which led to over 1,200 deaths and sparked a war in Gaza. This conflict has resulted in over 25,000 Palestinian casualties. The UK Foreign Office condemned the attack as a “heinous act of terrorism.”
