The International Agency for Assistance to Palestine refugees in the United Nations (UNRWA) announced on Friday, February 6, that ceases to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Reported AFP.
The decision was taken after the agency made sure that hundreds of tons of food did not go to Palestinian civilians, but were stolen by the Hamas.
So, on Thursday, February 5, the trucks hired by the Government of the Palestinian Authority, took the cargo of rice and flour, which UNRWA had to Gaza.
February 3, police seized 3,500 of warm blankets and 406 rations, which were distributed to the needy in one of the camps of Gaza. Then the UN agency has accused Hamas of embezzling humanitarian aid, but the sanctions have not yet decided to apply.
Earlier, representatives of the Islamist organization claimed that all aid to Palestinians should take place only through the structure of Hamas.
UN has threatened to curtail the supply of humanitarian aid - after a course of military operations "Cast lead", Israeli troops fired at the headquarters of this international organization, located in Gaza. Then Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak apologized to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and the conflict had been exhausted.
