This week, the United Nations (UN) admitted that the Hamas terror group placed a one of its tunnels under a UN-operated school in in Gaza.
“A detailed assessment on 31 May 2021 revealed what appears to be a cavity and a possible tunnel, at the location of the missile strike,” said an United Nations Relief and Works Agency for (UNRWA) press release. “UNRWA condemns the existence and potential use by Palestinian armed groups of such tunnels underneath its schools in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable that students and staff be placed at risk in such a way.”
The revelation definitively confirms that Hamas uses children as human shields, former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Monday.
While inspecting bomb damage at the Zaitoun Preparatory Boys’ School, UNRWA admitted that investigators found “what appears to be a cavity and a possible tunnel, at the location of the missile strike. The depth of the cavity is approximately 7.5 meters below the surface of the school.”
In Geneva, the head of the watchdog organization UN Watch, which monitors abuses by the UN, called on current UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to end his organization’s inaction and take steps to crack down on UNRWA, which aside from the weapons embarrassments has been wracked by corruption scandals.
“The discovery of this terror tunnel operating directly under the classrooms of young children is not an isolated incident but part of a policy and practice by Hamas terrorists to systematically exploit the organs of the United Nations,” Neuer tweeted.
