Exposing Israel’s inhuman tortures against UNRWA employees

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, under the conditions of sanctions by “UNRWA” (aid agency and the work of the United Nations for Palestinian refugees) on the part of more than 10 countries, including the United States and its allies, due to the false and targeted accusations made by the Zionist regime against this agency and its employees, the famine and hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip has deepened, UNRWA agency In a statement yesterday, it accused Israel of torturing a number of employees of this agency in the Gaza Strip. has spoken, and these reports include torture, severe ill-treatment, rape and sexual harassment.

The statement further states that a number of UNRWA employees informed that they were subjected to severe torture during the Israeli interrogation of They were forced to confess about the Hamas attack on October 7. These forced confessions are the result of torture by Israeli authorities to release more misleading information against UNRWA in order to eventually disband the agency.

UNRWA warned that this would put our staff in Gaza at risk. And it has dangerous consequences for our relief operations in Gaza and the region.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency announced that it has submitted its written protest to Israel regarding the detention of the agency’s employees, but has not received any response.

On the other hand, CNN announced that it obtained a copy of the UNRWA agency’s unpublished report; A report in which it is emphasized that Israel committed extensive physical and psychological abuses against Palestinians detained from Gaza during the war.

According to CNN, this report, which has not yet been published, is mainly based on the testimony of Gaza detainees in Israeli prisons. They were later released and returned to the Gaza Strip.

The New York Times also pointed to the UNRWA report and stated that there is a lot of information about beatings, torture, rape and sexual harassment against Palestinian detainees. And they are deprived of treatment in Israeli prisons.

In a study prepared by UN experts, it is stated that Israel detained thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, and about 3,000 of them are still in prison. They are under the worst form of torture.

According to Tasnim, while “UNRWA” organization (the relief organization for Palestinian refugees in the United Nations) since the beginning of the Gaza war, like other international organizations, has not been able to perform acceptable in helping the The people of Gaza, in the shadow of the barbaric aggression of the Zionist regime and the heavy siege against this region, last month, the Zionists claimed that a number of UNRWA employees participated in the Palestinian resistance operation called “Aqsa Storm” on October 7, 2023.

In a situation where there is no evidence or witness to confirm this claim, countries such as the United States, England, Italy and several other countries that support the crimes of the Zionist occupation in Gaza announced in a joint statement that their annual aid to UNRWA they cut America, Canada, Australia, Italy, England, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Japan and Switzerland are the countries that have stopped their financial aid to UNRWA due to the mentioned false accusation.

It is clear that this action cannot be taken. The United States and the West, which deprives UNRWA of more than 80 percent of its funding, have separated it from the devastating war waged against the largest Palestinian refugee camp, the Gaza Strip. In the sense that the decision of the mentioned countries is in the framework of strengthening Israel’s war measures and intensifying the blockade against the Palestinians; Because the aid to Gaza during this devastating war is distributed by UNRWA. In other words, sanctioning UNRWA means a sharp reduction in aid to the Gaza Strip during the war, which is completely contrary to the propaganda and false claims of the Americans. . Of course, this is not the first contradiction in America’s claims with its actual performance in the Gaza war, and there are many cases that show that the Americans have acted completely contrary to their maneuvers and human rights claims in Gaza.
