United Nations agencies have refused to provide key personnel records to U.S. investigators in an ongoing probe into potential Hamas ties inside U.S.-funded aid programs.
A report sent to Congress this week by the USAID inspector general’s office says multiple UN agencies failed to fully respond to requests for employee data tied to the programs. The requests sought names, basic identifying information, and employment history for people working on U.S.-funded awards, records investigators say are necessary to determine whether individuals with known affiliations were able to move between organizations without detection.
Some agencies offered only partial responses, while others did not respond at all, according to the report.
“None of the responding UN recipients provided the requested information pertaining to their personnel,” the report states
The requests were part of ‘Operation Stop the Carousel,’ a USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation into how individuals tied to terrorist groups moved between aid organizations receiving U.S. funding in Gaza. Investigators are examining whether those individuals were able to move across multiple organizations without being flagged when oversight relied on internal screening instead of outside verification.
The investigation expanded after earlier findings identified individuals believed to have been affiliated with Hamas, some of whom were referred for potential suspension or debarment from U.S.-funded programs.
“USAID policies exempted UN organizations from the vetting process that the Agency required of NGOs and contractors,” the report states.
Investigators say that structure leaves the U.S. government dependent on the United Nations to screen the personnel working on taxpayer-funded programs, including those operating inside Gaza-based aid distribution networks, limiting the government’s ability to independently verify who is participating in those programs and whether prior concerns about terrorist affiliations were identified or addressed, as federal officials continue reviewing how U.S. aid is distributed in Gaza.

That leaves U.S. officials dependent on the same system now under investigation to catch potential terrorist ties.
Under existing UN rules, membership in Hamas alone does not automatically disqualify an applicant from working on U.S.-funded programs, a gap investigators say complicates efforts to prevent individuals tied to designated terrorist organizations from participating in aid operations.
“Vulnerabilities…limit the assurance that terrorist-affiliated staff have not been onboarded,” investigators wrote.
Access to personnel records would allow investigators to determine whether people working on aid programs had previously been flagged for ties to Hamas or other groups, and to bar future participation where warranted, particularly in cases where individuals may have shifted between organizations performing similar work.
Federal officials have indicated that individuals identified through the investigation could be referred for suspension or debarment. At the same time, organizations that provided material support could face further legal scrutiny under U.S. law. The OIG has also warned that failure to comply with information requests could result in referrals to Congress and other federal authorities.
The probe is now moving forward without the records investigators say they need, leaving unanswered how many individuals tied to terrorist groups may have already passed through U.S.-funded aid programs as the investigation continues.
This is a developing story. RedState will provide updates as more information becomes available.

One huge corrupted entity. UN.
The UN should be paying the cost of our Iran operation.
After October 7th, 2023, after that savage bloodthirsty murder of innocent people in Israel, the moment I heard that UNRWA was imbedded with Hamas, I knew instantly what their Obamaesque plans were and how it descended into the pit of hell. This is WHY we are at war in Iran today, the reason the wicked Mullahs ordering that evil attack are now all dead. Jut like Haman in the Bible, they chose the date of their own destruction.
Samantha Power was installed into the UN by Obama to destroy the USA and Israel as well as later running USAID to bankrupt the USA, to flood out as many USA dollars for Marxist NGO causes as possible.
The UN can run bake sales to make up the difference.
That would make New York prostitutes very unhappy.
Make them pay their parking tickets first.
It’s nothing but a global system of corruption!
While we are telling NATO to GFY, give the same message to the UN . . . and kick them out of NYC.
Amen
We should be talking about the U.N. in the past tense. They are a nest of back biting vipers who suck the U.S. dry with their perfidious programs.
“That would make New York prostitutes very unhappy.’’
Yeah, well there IS that. But look on the bright side.
The girls could go into politics.
One ‘’profession’’ is really no different than the other.
I cant prove it, but after hearing that UNRWA was with the October 7th terrorist murderers as some sort of ‘observers’ !?!,
I believe they were intending originally to manufacture some international incident, to then have a ‘peace negotiator’ like an Obama come in and promote the idea of dividing Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria for their false ‘peace and security’. Their ‘great reset’ while they still had the dementia carcass installed in the White House to work through.
It quickly turned into an uncontrolled demonic attack originating out of the pit of hell.
