World Vision has cancelled the contracts of 120 Palestinian employees in Gaza, staff said on Friday, amid Israeli allegations that the NGO’s Gaza director had diverted millions to Hamas. A senior World Vision source confirmed the redundancies. Senior employees would be kept on partial salaries, the World Vision source said. The employee said World Vision promised to take back the staff once the crisis was resolved. The NGO has disputed the allegations, saying it has seen no evidence presented by Israel.
