UN says Hamas stole aid packages

2009-02-05

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) condemned Wednesday Hamas' confiscation of aid supplies as the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced a $600 million reconstruction program for Gaza.

Stolen aid

" UNRWA condemns in the strongest terms the confiscation of its aid supplies and has demanded that it is returned immediately "
UNRWA

UNRWA said Hamas had seized hundreds of food parcels and thousands of blankets destined for Gaza civilians in the wake of Israel's war and demanded their immediate return. "At 14:30 on 3 February, over 3,500 blankets and 406 food parcels were confiscated from a distribution store at Beach Camp in Gaza by police personnel," it said in a statement.

"This took place after UNRWA staff had earlier refused to hand over the aid supplies to the Hamas-run ministry of social affairs. "The police subsequently broke into the warehouse and seized the aid by force. The aid was due to be distributed to five hundred families in the area," UNRWA said.

"UNRWA condemns in the strongest terms the confiscation of its aid supplies and has demanded that it is returned immediately."

#4 We condemn it we do! We condemn it in the strongest terms! Boo-hiss, and just quit it. There. That should send Hamas running for cover.

#3 When playing tennis and playing by the rules of the game, your opponent needs to follow the rules to make the game a challenge. When I follow the rules and the opponent violates the rules the game turns into chaos. Read the Koran and read the history of the movement. Go back to the great movement of Islam in the 1000-1100 and trace the militant journey across Afica, through Spain, and into Eastern Europe.
