The U.N. aid agency serving Palestinians in Gaza faced more funding cuts Monday amid accusations that 12 of its employees were involved in the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the Israel-Hamas war.
The allegations over the weekend triggered a wave of funding cuts by major donors, including the U.S., Britain and France.
UNRWA employs roughly 13,000 Palestinians in Gaza and says it will be forced to halt operations within weeks if funding isn’t restored.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the boy was killed near the Israeli settlement of Tekoa.
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said that Israeli forces opened fire after clashing with Palestinians from the area.
