How the "Neutral" UN Is Helping Hamas Oppress Gazans and Fool the World

(Washington Free Beacon) Andrew Tobin - Every day last week, hundreds of UN trucks stacked with pallets of humanitarian aid have headed into Gaza, where Israel has implemented daily pauses in military activity. Many of the trucks have not reached UN warehouses, according to Gazans on the ground, as armed Hamas militants have hijacked the cargo. Most Gazans have been forced to buy the donated aid at exorbitant prices from merchants handpicked and heavily taxed by Hamas. "Fifty trucks arrived yesterday at warehouses in Gaza City, and Hamas stole all of the aid," said lawyer Moumen al-Natour, 30, on Tuesday. "Today, the aid went on sale in the black markets at very high prices....Hamas has unfortunately been able to infiltrate the mechanism of the United Nations for a long time. They take all the aid for their own people and leave nothing for the civilians. This is how they maintain their criminal government while their popularity is collapsing." UN officials, even as they have professed neutrality, have stayed largely silent on Hamas's role in the war while fiercely condemning Israel. Israeli officials have said there is no famine in Gaza and blamed Hamas and the UN for food shortages, pointing to hundreds of truckloads of aid awaiting collection inside Gaza. Nearly all UN employees in Gaza are locals who live under Hamas's sway. IDF Col. (res.) Eli Meiri noted, "Hamas doesn't want to be seen stealing all the UN aid from its own people, so it just hijacks half the aid. But it gets the other half of the aid in other ways." Gazan researcher Saed said, "The drivers of these trucks alert Hamas before they enter with the aid. They hand over a portion to Hamas and also take some for themselves and their people. Many trucks arrive in Gaza, I see them every day passing by the house where I live. But none of the aid reaches the people."
