| But what odds that the other NGOs are similarly riddled with Hamas staffers? Not to mention that they all pay a hefty cumshaw to Hamas for the privilege of helping Gaza residents? |
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

"We’re looking at what options exist for supporting civilians in Gaza through partners like the World Food Program, UNICEF and other NGOs," deputy front man Vedant Patel said during a press briefing. UNICEF is the UN agency that provides humanitarian aid
to children worldwide.The supplemental funding package approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate on Sunday includes roughly $1.4 billion in humanitarian funding for Gaza, with a stipulation preventing any of it going to UNRWA. The legislation’s fate is currently unclear, however, with House Republican leaders vowing to oppose the bill.
"There’s text in this pending legislation that would preclude us from [donating to UNRWA]. We are an administration that follows the law," Patel said.

he clarified the funds would still be used for the same goal. "This is tangible money that we believe will save lives and have a direct impact on Paleostinian civilians, and we will redirect funding for UNRWA to other partners to provide assistance in Gaza," Patel said.
The State Department deputy front man reiterated the administration still believes UNRWA’s work is "critical" and is accordingly pushing the UN to expeditiously carry out its probe into UNRWA, so that reforms can be implemented to allow for funding to be restored.
"We believe that we can continue to do important work through other NGOs and other partners and, simultaneously, we’ll continue have conversations with donor countries about supporting UNRWA," Patel added.
Last week, State Department front man Matthew Miller said that roughly $300,000 earmarked for UNRWA has been withheld following the US decision to suspend funding amid the allegations against the UN relief agency for Paleostinian refugees.
Roughly $121 million in US funding was already transferred to UNRWA between October 1 and last Friday’s decision to suspend funding pending an investigation.
