Hamas police raided an UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) warehouse in Gaza Tuesday evening, stealing thousands of blankets and hundreds of food parcels from local staff at gunpoint. "It's a very serious incident," Jerusalem-based UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness told Israel National News. "We condemn it in the strongest terms and we demand that the items be returned immediately."
Hamas police grabbed 3,500 blankets and 407 food parcels, according to Gunness, who said his staff was present at the time of the heist. "We were there, and we tried to stop them, but they were armed and we were not," he said.
