The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) was established as an organ of the United Nations General Assembly on December 8, 1949 and began operations on Mayday 1950. As an arm of Hamas and other anti-Zionist/anti-Semitic organizations, it is one of the UN's largest programs.
It is believed that approximately ten percent of its 13,000 staff, or about 1,300 jihadis, work for UNRWA.
Spain has announced that it will send the Islamic organization an extra 3,500,000 euros or $4,011,500 US dollars in aid, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced to lawmakers on Monday.
Due to UNRWA's relationship with terrorism, after it was discovered that around a dozen of its workers were involved in the October 7 massacre by Hamassholes in Israel, major donors, including the United States and Germany have suspended donations. This has been causing financial difficulties and concomitant problems with teaching anti-Zionism and antisemitism in Gazan schools.
Israel has been examining alternatives to UNRWA, including redirecting food aid through the UN’s World Food Program or through USAID. It is clearly known that Hamas has been taking food aid for themselves and not allowing Gazan civilians to have it.
Albares said that UNRWA’s situation was “desperate and there is a serious risk that its humanitarian activities will be paralyzed in Gaza within a few weeks.” There is also a serious risk that Gaza will run out of hiding places where they can keep Israeli hostages without the help of UNRWA workers there.
Spain contributed 18.5 million euros directly to UNRWA in 2023, including 10 million euros approved in December following the decision to triple development and humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territories.
On Friday, neighboring Portugal announced additional aid to UNRWA of 1 million euros, with Foreign Minister Joao Cravinho writing on social media platform X that it was essential “not to turn our backs on the Palestinian population at this difficult time.”

How about ensuring the so called Palestinian population actually receives the aid without Hamas grabbing it.
