UNRWA has been operating for 8 decades?! What kind of refugees remain “refugees” for 8 freaking decades?

[benqurayza]

The UN has two refugee agencies: UNRWA for the Palestinian Arabs, UNHCR for the rest of the world. UNHCR (UN High Commissioner for Refugees) typically resettles refugees within a few years. UNRWA has warehoused Palestinian Arabs for at least 4 generations since 1948. It has failed.

SO UNWRA WILL CONTINUE FEEDING PALESTINIANS FOREVER
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

[robertw]

There will be other UN agencies that can deliver aid other than this Hamas Organization.

That woman is absolutely clueless on what she’s talking about, many UNRWA workers ARE HAMAS and even Sinwar himself had an UNRWA badge on his body. Don’t tell me she works for Al Jazeera 😱

[Ruach]

Israel felt UNRWA “might be complicit” we all they UNRWA is COMPLICIT ——— Hello !!! Where have you been?

[MTx]

3:06 you fundamentally deny it yet there’s proof. Itiwi is literally on video. The UN confirmed he was a high ranking UNRWA employee. What are you talking about? UN watch has been sounding the alarm for years but you all ignored it so you can continue to profit

[AaronWireman]

Civilians are human shields and the international community are aiding the human shields.

[lthage]

She is "also a storyteller." Yep, she has indeed established that.

[NKB_POE]

This people's if they can bans oxygen from circulate inside Palestinean respiration system they will do it.

[bitkower]

You should ask why do Palestinians get a separate UN refugee agency that defines who is a refugee differently than the rest of the world and why can't UNHCR handle it, the way it handles literally every other group of refugees in the world?

[bonniespeck]

UN could send in troops/personnel to do the same job of distribution of aid not connected to UNWRA. Send in peacekeepers for the time being. UN workers from all over the world.

[jdc]

Have we addressed the question of why Israeli government is banning this agency? And what replacement Israeli government may have for this now band organization?

[Iblondevagabond]

3:39 😳😳😳…what?…I…can’t…WHAT??…Really, Arwa??? You know that’s unequivocally BS…and Chris, come on, you know this whole piece is factual BS! You both know better! #dobetter
😡😡😡

[jennideans]

That woman is a mouthpiece who dosnt know what she is talking about

[RedRose]

Then why don't Israel make them deliver at a point and inspect what's going on and deliver themselves? Sounds like problem solved imo.

[MilenaBlazanovic-oqiy]

Trump banned UNRWA when he was president, we want Trump

[nancyfalk]

So more than 13, 000 Unwra employees in Israel to help the Palestinian ‘refugees’ settle in, and they’re still not settled? How many more years do you think it will take? 20, 30, 50? I hope Unwra can finally help the Palestinian refugees Gigi and Bella Hadid find a job and a home, and provide them with food until they get on their feet.

What has this lady been drinking or smoking that she does not know the basics about Gaza?
How frequently was the Rafah Crossing open recently to the access of trucks from Egypt loaded with food, medicine, water etc.?
We asked ChatPT about the subject for te knowledge of all of us.
What's the name of the gate of access from Egypt to Gaza? Is it in operation? If not, why?

ChatGPT informs:
The main access point from Egypt to Gaza is called the Rafah crossing. It is primarily used for the movement of people and some goods. The crossing is often closed or operates under strict regulations due to security concerns and the political situation between Israel, Egypt, and Hamas, which governs Gaza.
The crossing has seen periods of closure, especially during escalations in conflict or for security reasons. When it is open, it usually allows for limited movement, and humanitarian aid may also be permitted to pass through. The operational status can change frequently, so it’s best to check the latest updates if you need current information.
