Eighty thousand dollars of aid donated to World Vision by the United Kingdom, which was intended to help the civilians of Gaza, build badly-needed infrastructure, and provide food and medical care to those in need, was instead invested in building a Hamas military base and pocketed by the terrorists who constructed it.
"In this compound we have identified surveillance and observation capabilities facing north, towards Israel." IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said. "I can also tell you that in June 2015 we targeted components within the compound following a rocket attack against Israel." The active Hamas military base, codenamed "Palestine," was built, among other things, for close-quarter combat training in the northern Gaza city of Jabalia, the third-largest Gazan city. The relatively large base is 600 by 200 meters, and is a short distance from residential buildings, as seen in the below declassified aerial map.
The World Vision investigation exposed that sixty percent of the charity group's annual budget was funneled to terror activities by Halabi, the Palestinian manager of the World Vision's Gaza branch. Forty three million dollars of aid earmarked for agriculture, treatment for the disabled, and public health was instead used by Hamas to buy weapons, build military bases, and fund the construction of tunnels, which were used in the past to kidnap Israeli soldiers and stage attacks against Israel.
World Vision and every country that donates to them knows exactly where most of the money goes — toward the destruction of Israel.
Now that it has become public knowledge that World Vision has such poor oversight of the money entrusted to them, only a fool would continue to contribute to them.
We stopped all support to World Vision last week. DW called them and stopped all contributions.
Money sent to a corrupt organization will find it way to corrupt causes.
