UNRWA is mandated to be impartial. And it violates this mandate every single day.
It says, on its "Who We Are" page:
Is UNRWA a political organization?No. Established by the UN General Assembly (as its subsidiary organ), UNRWA is a United Nations agency and humanitarian organization that operates based on the legal framework applicable to UN entities, including the United Nations Charter, and in accordance with the UN humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and operational independence.
Yet it routinely accuses Israel of a having a deliberate policy of starving Gaza.
This is obviously absurd - no matter what you think about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation methods or problems, Israel has poured enormous effort into bringing in food for Gaza and trying to keep it away from Hamas. Starvation does not serve any Israeli interests, on the contrary, it hurts Israeli efforts to get rid of Hamas.
These facts do not stop UN officials from making that slanderous accusations, that violate their own standards.
UNRWA's head Philippe Lazzarini said Israel is inflicting "man-made" and "politically motivated starvation" on Gaza. And more recently, Tamara Alrifai, UNRWA Director of External Relations & Communications, told BBC World News last week that Israel was starving Gazans "by design."
Non-political? Impartial? Unbiased?
Why doesn't anyone talk about UNRWA blatantly violating its own policies, every single day?
