In January 2024, Israel accused United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff of being involved in the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, but provided no evidence to support these serious claims. An independent review conducted by the UN Secretary-General found no evidence that any UNRWA staff participated in these attacks. The review confirmed that UNRWA has strong systems in place to ensure neutrality in its operations (Amnesty International USA, HRW).

Today, our contacts in Gaza had the privilege of visiting a displaced family from the northern Gaza Strip, now seeking refuge in the southern strip of Gaza. The pain and suffering this family has endured and still enduring are beyond words. They currently reside on the beach, exposed to the bitter cold of the winter nights. Their temporary shelter—a fragile tent—provides little to no shade, making the situation even more unbearable.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza continues to cause immense civilian suffering, much of which is exacerbated by military support from external nations, including the United States. U.S.-made weapons, such as airstrike munitions, have been used in operations that violate international humanitarian law, leading to the deaths of civilians and destruction of essential infrastructure. 
This October marks one year since the people of Gaza showed the world their determined resolve in the face of unimaginable hardship. A year ago, Palestinians in Gaza demonstrated that the colonized can resist and rise against their colonizers. Despite the tremendous loss, they stood tall—and continue to do so.
