Twice in three days now, Hamas thugs have stolen humanitarian aid transported into the Gaza Strip by UNRWA, the UN agency which caters to Palestinian refugees, via the Kerem Shalom crossing in Israel.

“Sami Mshasha, a spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which supports much of Gaza’s 1.5 million population, said Hamas forces had seized 10 trucks loaded with humanitarian supplies on Friday,” reports Reuters. “Two days earlier, Hamas men took blankets and food from an UNRWA store in Gaza. ‘The decision was to suspend aid distribution in the Gaza Strip until the problem with the Hamas authorities is resolved and until the intervention of the Hamas authorities in the work of UNRWA is stopped,’ Mshasha said.”

Why is it so hard to believe that Hamas would use the civilian population in Gaza as human shields?
