A UN report found that despite “robust” guidelines to ensure UNWRA’s neutrality, there were weaknesses in their implementation because of problems in the agency’s vetting processes, its internal investigations and restrictions on its ability to prevent armed groups from using its facilities for military purposes.
The report added that there had been instances when agency employees had publicly expressed political views, its schools had used textbooks with “problematic content” and some of its facilities had been used for “political or military purposes.” The report did not elaborate, but said that breaches of neutrality “could include the discovery of weapons, cavities and tunnel openings, military activities or incursions.”. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/22/world/middleeast/unrwa-israel-hamas-report.html

UNWRA 75 years of being at the heart of the problem, keeping Palestinians as refugees not resettling them, what a contrast to the UNHCR in dealing with refugees from the Syrian regime. All the while teaching hate in its schools, allowing its facilities to be used for terrorism, taking financial responsibility for local public services so that the regime could focus its resources on armaments and worst of all employing putting terrorists on its payroll. And the gullible Western democracies have paid for all this while the Arab oil states use their wealth to buy up prime property, football clubs, gold tournaments airlines etc etc. Time to not only defund UNWRA but look for new bodies that oppose terrorism and violence to take over its responsibilities.
UNWRA has been infected by Hamas enabling them to use their facilities for terrorism and indoctrinate their children to hatred via their schools. It has to go.
