The UN's Corrupt Stewardship of Palestinian Aid

Amid fresh accusations of famine in the Gaza Strip, and demands by the United Kingdom, France, and Canada to “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza,” Israel has agreed to allow aid shipments to resume. However, foreign demands notwithstanding, that aid will not be delivered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the United Nations’ corrupt, biased, and compromised steward of Palestinian aid.

To replace UNRWA, the United States and Israel have proposed a novel plan to funnel food and essential humanitarian supplies into the Hamas-ruled territory, implemented by a new charitable organization called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Yet the UN opposes the new aid mechanism, insisting that it must continue to be central in any aid effort.

The bankruptcy of the UN aid process in Gaza is well-documented. For years UNRWA has willfully violated the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality with nary a peep of objection from the UN.
