An international watchdog has accused staff at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) of stealing humanitarian aid meant for residents of Gaza and selling it off for profit.
Switzerland-based UN Watch said in a May 8 report that it had reviewed numerous allegations—including some made in an online chatroom by UNRWA employee whistleblowers—that staff at the UN agency have been stealing and selling off humanitarian aid that’s freely provided to help struggling Palestinians.
