Around the world, displaced people are the responsibility of the un High Commissioner for Refugees (unhcr). Only the 6m Palestinian refugees scattered across the Middle East have a separate dedicated caretaker. Before the war perhaps a few tens of thousands were refugees in the literal sense: people forced to flee a conflict.The un Relief and Works Agency (unrwa) was founded in 1949 to aid 700,000 Palestinian refugees displaced by the creation of Israel.Last month Israel alleged that 12 unrwa employees took part in the October 7th massacre, in which Hamas militants murdered some 1,200 Israelis. It has also claimed, without publicly offering any evidence, that 10% of the agency’s 13,000 employees in Gaza are members of Hamas. Is there an issue with unrwa mission in Palestine?
