JERUSALEM/GAZA (Reuters) - The head of the U.N. agency that aids Palestinian refugees has stepped aside until the end of an investigation into misconduct allegations, the agency said on Wednesday.
Commissioner General Pierre Krahenbuhl has been replaced until a review of "management-related matters" at the agency is completed, the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a statement.
UNRWA provides services to more than 5 million registered refugees in the West Bank,
Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, as well as in Jordan,
Lebanon and Syria.
