The most damning fact of all: 28% of male @UNRWA staff in Gaza were members of terror groups

In April, the Government of Israel published its most comprehensive report yet showing how UNRWA employees were members of Hamas or other terror groups and how UNRWA facilities were used by terrorists.

The report says that so far, using captured intelligence from Gaza, Israel has identified 1,462 UNRWA employees in the Gaza Strip who are members of Hamas or other designated terrorist organizations. (75 of then were directly members of Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades.)

According to data obtained by The Telegraph, only 41% of UNRWA staff in Gaza were men. Israel counts 12,521 total UNRWA employees in Gaza, which means there were about 5,134 male employees.

Assuming that all of the UNRWA members of terror groups were male, which is reasonable, that means that some 28.5% of all male Gaza UNRWA employees were members of designated terror groups.

UNRWA tries to spin its Gaza employees ties to terror as a tiny number that do not represent UNRWA. If there are a few dozen, they might have a point - but 28% is huge.

For comparison, at most, 15% of all working age males in Gaza can be said to be linked to Hamas, the Hamas government or militant groups. Meaning that male UNRWA employees are twice as likely to be linked to Hamas than the general population of working-age males in Gaza.
