UNRWA and aid in Gaza
UNRWA is the UN agency for refugees in Gaza. In Naza: The Real Story, officers show UN-marked food packages inside what they identify as a Hamas compound.
UNRWA is not the Red Cross. It is a separate UN refugee agency built around Gaza and the 1948 file. It is one of the channels aid takes to reach people in Gaza.
The film puts the evidence on screen: food packages printed with UN agency marks, inside a building the interviewees identify as a Hamas compound. They say Hamas took over the humanitarian convoys from the first day and kept part of the aid.
This is not new. A related explainer on aid diversion covers UNRWA’s own 2009 freeze after a theft attributed to Hamas.
