Opinion | Close Unrwa, Not the Office Exposing It

The USAID Inspector General is scrutinizing the U.N. refugee agency (UNRWA) for employing members affiliated with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. This investigation comes amid growing concerns about the agency's practices and funding. While some argue for UNRWA's closure, the focus should instead be on ensuring accountability and transparency to prevent misuse of funds and to uphold the integrity of international aid efforts. This scrutiny is essential to maintain public trust in humanitarian aid and to ensure that support reaches those genuinely in need without falling into the hands of extremist groups.
