The European Commission will give the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) only part of a planned 82 million euro payment now due to concerns raised by Israeli accusations that 12 staff were involved in the October 7 attack, people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.

The Commission is expected to make an official announcement at around 11:30 GMT, the sources said. They said the Commission planned to make the payment in installments over time, rather than with a single lump sum.
