\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA has been following the traction of a post by an Israeli journalist on the social media platform X. The post claims that there is an alleged connection between an Israeli hostage held in Gaza and an Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA school teacher. The journalist did not provide more information on this claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA and other entities in the United Nations have asked the journalist to provide more information on what we consider to be a very serious allegation. Despite repeated demands, the journalist has not responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA requests that the journalist provides an immediate clarification of the claims, and that whoever may be able to assist us in determining the facts comes forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the absence of credible information to support this claim, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA requests that the journalist immediately deletes the post. Making serious allegations in the public domain, unsupported by any evidence or verifiable facts in support thereof may amount to misinformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA reiterates that it takes all allegations of breach of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ principles extremely seriously and immediately investigates them. We are hence determined to find out whether the information in question is genuine or false.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA is the largest humanitarian organization in the Gaza Strip and is currently hosting more than 1 million people in its shelters. Defamation attacks and the spread of misinformation about Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA -from any side- directly endanger the lifesaving operations of the Agency and its staff operating on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese harmful and presumably gratuitous acts must stop, immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
