UNRWA suspends Gaza aid after Hamas steals food and supplies

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) on Friday said it is suspending humanitarian aid in Gaza until further notice, after Hamas seized control of its warehouses and stole 200 tons of food and supplies.

The agency said it made the decision after Hamas personnel seized an aid shipment on Thursday. Earlier this week, Hamas police took thousands of blankets and food parcels meant for needy residents.

Substitute the words "UNRWA" with "Israel" and the world would howl in protest at the cruel actions committed by the Zionist Entity. I guess when the UN does it, it suddenly becomes kosher. How ironic.

The only villain clearly escapes condemnation. One more example that Hamas cares nothing for the Palestinians.

    Exactly. Many are aware of the suffering Hamas has caused the Jews (and, for that matter, Christians living in Gaza). Butless known is the suffering they have brought to their fellow Palestinians:
