If the buildings erected as a result of money sent from the UN (of which the U.S. is one of the major contributors) for hospitals, schools, etc. is being used to hide weapons, then I suggest that this money should be used instead to build schools and hospitals in other areas of the world where the people are very, very needy.

Rockets found in UNRWA school, for third time

UN agency spokesperson condemns discovery, says munitions expert hasn’t yet reached Gaza facility

BY ILAN BEN ZION July 30, 2014


A UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees said Tuesday that a stockpile of Hamas rockets was found in one of UNRWA’s Gaza schools — for the third time since the onset of Operation Protective Edge.

The incident, however, was not publicized by UNRWA on its website or official Twitter feed, or that of its spokesperson.

In its press release, UNRWA’s spokesperson said that the discovery was made during a routine inspection of the school, “which was closed for the summer and not being used as a shelter.”

“All the relevant parties have been notified,” UNRWA said, without elaborating which parties. Hamas, the terror group that controls the Gaza Strip, has launched over 2,000 of rockets at Israel in the past month.

“We condemn the group or groups who endangered civilians by placing these munitions in our school,” said UNRWA Spokesperson, Chris Gunness. “This is yet another flagrant violation of the neutrality of our premises. We call on all the warring parties to respect the inviolability of UN property.”
