Leaked Report Reveals Culture of Corruption At Highest Level of UNRWA
by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – A leaked UN report details abuses at the highest level of the UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
According to the 10-page report, UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl, Deputy Commissioner-General Sandra Mitchel, Senior Advisor to Krahenbuhl Maria Mohammedi, and Chief of Staff Hakam Shahwan had created an environment of dysfunction and authoritarianism in the organization.
“Abuse of authority for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives,” “consolidating power,” “concentrat[ing] decision-making power” and “disregard[ing] agency rules and … procedures” were among charges leveled against the top officials by the report, which was published by Al Jazeera.
The Trump administration announced in September 2018 that it would cut all funding to the UNRWA, to which the U.S. has donated $6 billion since 1950, for continuing to cross-pollinate its staff with members of Hamas and running schools where anti-Israel jihad serves as the basis of the curriculum.
The UNRWA has also been accused of paying stipends to imprisoned Hamas terrorists and their families.
