According to information by the Israel Defense Forces, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza has failed to report that three ambulances it received were stolen by Hamas gunmen. UNRWA denied the claim. Spokesman Chris Gunness told ‘Israel National News': "This story is completely untrue. With every flip and every flop and every drip and every drop of misinformation, the credibility of these unnamed sources is diminished to the point where it is astonishing that any journalist believes a syllable they say."
An IDF spokesman said: "When Israel deviates a little from procedures in Gaza, there is a massive world outcry, but when UNRWA, as an organization, doesn't even declare that Hamas is causing great damage in Gaza, the world doesn't even open its mouth."
In February, UNRWA suspended humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip after Hamas stole supplies it had transferred to the Palestinian territory. The agency resumed the deliveries days later though after Hamas acceded to its demand to return the 200 tons of goods, including blankets, flour and rice.
