En representant for Abbas-regjeringen i Ramallah anklager FN-ansatte på Gaza-stripen for å selge nødhjelp som skal distribueres gratis til trengende palestinere:
The undersecretary of the ministry of the Ramallah-based government, speaking from Gaza, Nasser As-Sarraj made these accusations to Ma’an on Monday night.
As-Sarraj, who is part of the Palestinian Authority (PA) Ministry in Gaza, not to be confused with the separate Ministry of National Economy of the de facto Hamas government in the same area, said UNRWA has been caught selling rice and sugar to local merchants without coordinating with the ministry first.
When contacted, UNRWA spokespeople said they had not heard of any such accusations and were unaware of any investigations into the issue.
As-Sarraj said UNRWA employees were involved in bringing truckloads of goods into the Gaza Strip under title of the agency and selling them to the private sector, and called the act “illegal.” He said he brought the accusations to UNRWA’s attention Monday night.
