According to a report, under the Gazan headquarters of unrwa (the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees in the near east) lies a hamas data centre. Reportedly, the israeli defence force discovered cables running from an unrwa server room to the underground centre. According to reports, unrwa who operate in Samaria, east Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria profess to be the only humanitarian aid agency on the ground in Gaza, but according to a report its mission will only be completed when the state of Israel no longer exists.
Reportedly, unrwa was mandated by the united nations general assembly to support palestinian refugees, defined as anyone whose normal place of residence was Palestine and who lost their home as a result of the 1948 conflict.
