UNRWA has a long, documented history of being used by Hamas for its purposes. Hamas has used UNRWA school, warehouses, and hospitals for its weapons, such as missiles, uses UNRWA as a shield for tunnels, and has many members as paid UNRWA staff. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/middleeast/gaza-unrwa-hamas-israel.html https://www.memri.org/tv/fmr-unrwa-official-ahmad-oueidat-schools-rise-palestinian-leadership-hamas-ismail-haniyeh-pflp-talal-naji https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/08/01/war-in-gaza-the-controversial-un-agency-that-found-rockets-in-its-schools/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/rockets-found-in-unrwa-school-for-third-time/amp/ https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2022/11/30/palestinian-terrorist-groups-continue-to-build-tunnels-under-unrwa-schools/ http://www.thetower.org/0739-un-gives-hamas-back-rockets-it-hid-in-unrwa-schoolun-gives-hamas-back-rockets-it-hid-in-unrwa-school/ https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel-at-war/1699267149-14-unrwa-teachers-accused-of-glorifying-hamas-celebrating-massacres https://www.thetower.org/1955-un-report-confirms-hamas-stored-and-fired-weapons-from-un-schools/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/i-captured-one-idf-recordings-show-more-unrwa-staffers-bragging-of-oct-7-crimes/amp/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/middleeast/gaza-unrwa-hamas-israel.html https://nypost.com/2024/02/17/world-news/unrwa-worker-caught-on-video-carrying-israeli-soliders-body-on-oct-7-report/amp/
