(KUNA) -- Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement of Hamas on Friday denounced the attack executed against the director of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza John Ging by unknown armed men.
Such acts contradict with the Palestinian people's ethics, as the movement oversaw the assassination attempt as of "great danger", Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum told reporters today. A statement issued by the movement said that people responsible for the assault were "planting seeds of destruction", as such actions would hinder efforts the agency was exerting in order to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians. The statement demanded all Palestinian factions to condemn the criminal endeavor, and contribute in the process of revealing who was involved in performing it.
UNRWA is a relief and human development agency, providing education, healthcare, social services and emergency aid to over 4.3 million refugees living in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. |
