The Red Cross announced on Friday that former UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl, who resigned due to corruption allegations, has been appointed as the organization's director-general.
Investigations against Krähenbühl raised claims of sexual harassment, nepotism and abuse of power. Among other allegations, it's claimed that Krähenbühl appointed the Palestinian Maria Mohammedi, with whom he supposedly had an intimate relationship, to a senior position in UNRWA on a $200,000 salary.
