UN Watch today demanded that UNRWA Chief Pierre Krahenbuhl apologize for using images of a girl from a bombed-out Syrian building as part of a global campaign to raise money for the organization by pretending the girl is a Gaza victim of Israeli actions.
UNRWA is now running the above photo on Facebook and in paid Twitter ads. It is also now UNRWA’s cover page photo on both Facebook and Twitter.
UNRWA's narrative of the photo tells of a girl named Aya from Gaza who is said to be 11 years old now, and who has suffered from the Israeli blockade of Gaza, occupation, and walls.
Hamas oppression of Gazans and its misuse of millions of dollars to construct missiles and terror tunnels is nowhere mentioned.
The UNRWA photo caption reads:
"Imagine being cut off from the world – for your whole life. That’s reality for children like Aya. The blockade of Gaza began when she was a baby, the occupation in the West Bank before her parents were born. Now she is eleven, and the blockade goes on.
Aya’s childhood memories are of conflict and hardship, walls she cannot escape, and the fear that the only home she knows, however tiny, could be gone when she returns from school.

Actually, Green Helmet Guy was mostly seen wearing a bright orange Emergency vest and carrying a wounded child. The same wounded child, whether he was in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, or Afghanistan. He and Flat Fatima sure got around, but did not have much of a wardrobe.
