So UNRWA's chief, Felipe Lazzarini, says Israel has not provided the agency with evidence to address these allegations. And he notes that Israel has killed at least 237 UNRWA staffers in Gaza in this war. Now, the agency did let nine people go out of its staff of 13,000.

And the UN's investigative body says those nine may have been involved in attacking Israel, but that they could not authenticate the information used by Israel in their allegations. And to be clear, the U.S. says it is concerned about the implications of these Israeli laws that were passed last week, banning contact between Israel and this U.N.

Well, in short, people are going to suffer because there's already hunger and starvation across Gaza. UNRWA says that last month in October, Israel permitted just 30 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza on average per day.
