Alternative Jewish Voices co-founder urges Government to keep funding Gaza aid agency

A push for the Government to continue funding the UN's aid agency in Gaza, because of its work feeding people.

Many countries have paused funding after allegations some agency staff were involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel.

MFAT says we will be assessing the situation before further payments.

Alternative Jewish Voices co-founder Marilyn Garson says the UN has reacted responsibly.

"There are unspecified allegations against fewer than 0.1 percent of their staff. They've been removed, and the United Nations' highest investigative body is looking at what happened."
