USAID Watchdog Ties 101 UNRWA Staff To Hamas's October 7 Wing
A named UNRWA school principal coordinated Hamas communications during the Oct. 7 attack, USAID's inspector general found.
- OIG referred 101 current or former UNRWA employees, 108 subjects total to date.
- Roles spanned school principals and teachers to snipers and platoon commanders.
- Principal Hafez Mousa Mohammed Mousa became the first UN-agency terrorist debarred by Washington.
Why it matters: A relief agency whose payroll included Hamas platoon commanders and snipers never vetted anyone at all.
