UN refugee agency accuses Hamas of stealing fuel, medications from its Gaza premises
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUNRWA, the UN organization that treats Palestinian refugees and their descendants, says Hamas authorities in Gaza have apparently stolen fuel and medical supplies meant for refugees from its premises in Gaza City.
The agency says on X that the people claiming they were from the Hamas-run health ministry loaded the supplies on trucks, adding than any non-humanitarian use of the fuel is “strongly condemned.”
The agency deletes the posts shortly thereafter, without explanation.
