Aid Workers Accused of Taking Part in Oct. 7

A UN probe fired 9 workers due to possible involvement in Oct. 7. [1] A serious controversy that should be in the "Criticism and controversies" section. Aaron1a12 (talk) 16:53, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's dealt with at Israeli allegations against UNRWA. Selfstudier (talk) 17:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the UN acted on provided evidence, it doesn't classify as an allegation and therefore, shouldn't be addressed in that page. Aaron1a12 (talk) 00:51, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the UN acted on provided evidence, that article should not have "alleged" in it? --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:41, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. They did their own investigation, otherwise they wouldnt have fired only 9 out of the 19 accused.[2] Alexpl (talk) 20:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
