One of the hostages, recently released from Gaza, revealed that he was held for nearly 50 days in an attic by a teacher from UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
The story was publicized on X by Channel 13 journalist Almog Boker.
The hostage also said that the teacher who held him captive was a father of 10 children. He was barely provided food or medical attention, and was locked away by the teacher, he said.
Furthermore, Boker’s report also cites another hostage saying that he was held hostage by a Gazan doctor as he was treating children patients.
The UNRWA school in Nablus
A report from the beginning of the month saw an UNRWA-run school in Nablus posting a video to its official Facebook page in which a young student called for the victory of Hamas’s “jihad warriors” in Gaza.
The report documented several examples of teachers at UNRWA schools in Gaza praising the attacks on social media, and found ties between Hamas terrorists and the agency’s schools.
The report revealed that more than 100 Hamas terrorists were confirmed to have graduated from UNRWA schools.
