The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has accused the Israeli government of endangering its staff and damaging the organization's reputation by making what it called unsubstantiated claims regarding its neutrality.
"The Government of Israel has continued to make claims against UNRWA's neutrality, putting our staff at risk and harming the Agency’s reputation," the agency stated in a press release issued Sunday.
The statement quoted UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini as saying: "Last month, I wrote to the Foreign Minister of Israel, requesting once again information and evidence to substantiate these allegations.

UNRWA IS HAMAS!
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency is a half truth, a full up lie.
UNRWA has no neutrality. They are aligned with the Terrorist organizations that control Gaza. Not only aligned, but become part of those terrorist organizations. They support those terrorist organizations at every turn.
The UNRWA, should be disbanded and thrown out of Gaza.
shut the UnitedNazis down and kick them the H*** out of USA
they’ve degenerated into an enemy of every loftly, idealistic goal the UN was supposed to pursue
I visited Israel in 1979. One joke the Israelis never get tired of is that the UN office in their country is on the site in Jerusalem where Judas agreed to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. The place is called the “Hill of Evil Council.”
😆 That makes sense. 😊
