Recording: Hamas Controls UNRWA in Gaza

A man identified as a Palestinian living in Gaza told the Israel Defense Forces on audio tape that Hamas has direct control over the United Nations group coordinating the delivery of humanitarian aid in the territory.

In recordings of the phone call, obtained by The Post, the man accused the troubled Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East, known as UNRWA, of being under Hamas’ power, telling an IDF officer that the terrorist group has been hogging all the supplies.

“The situation is terrible because the humanitarian people, those responsible for the humanitarian aid, are thieves,” the frustrated Gaza resident said in the recording.

“Hamas has their hands on UNRWA administration workers, and it manages UNRWA,” he alleges. “From the day they [Hamas] rose to power they took control of everything.”

[The United Nations denies this, but the IDF keeps finding Hamas weapons in and around UNRWA assets. It would almost be surprising if this *wasn’t* the case. At any rate, it’s been clear for years that the UNRWA’s aid and education programs have adopted Hamas’ priorities and propaganda, especially in indoctrination to Jew-hatred among Gazan children. The US should push for an end to UNRWA now. — Ed]
