Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher began to describe the conditions during their more than 400 days of captivity in Gaza. According to Israel, they said that the terrorists moved them several times and they were held in areas under the control of the Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA.
Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher They told of part of their ordeal in Gaza, where they were More than 400 days kidnapped, were in United Nations shelters intended to protect the Palestinian civilian population, according to Israel's official X account.
The first official information emerged from the Channel 13 from Israel. According to the network, “The terrorists took advantage of the UN camps to house the hostages there, knowing that the Israel Defense Forces would not attack the compound, thus also providing it with security.”.
The Palestinian Refugee Agency, UNRWA, oversees UN activities in the Gaza Strip. These tasks include monitoring shelters, schools, food deliveries and often health care.
Demari, who lost two fingers on his left hand during the kidnapping, also said that Gonen took care of her wound. Both remained together almost the entire captivity, from day 50 of her abduction until the time of her release. Steinbrecher was held at a different location.
Israeli revelation deepens scandal and doubts about UNRWA's work in Gaza, which since October 7, 2023 appears to be involved in cases of collusion with the terrorist group Hamas.
Months after the attack, when thousands of Palestinian terrorists infiltrated southern Israel and massacred more than 1.200 people in a bloody feast that included rape and torture, it was learned that Several UNRWA employees participated in the invasion and many others provided logistical support to the terrorists.
Furthermore, the Israel Defense Forces They revealed on numerous occasions how the shelters and schools of the ONU They are used as a weapons storage base.
Created after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the UNRWA The Islamic State has grown into a $1.300 billion entity, largely funded by Western nations. Over its history, it has been accused of storing weapons in schools, facilitating the construction of tunnels, and Hamas, promote hate messages through educational materials and, now, there is evidence that at least 12 of its employees actively participated in the massacre of Hamas.
The Israeli historian Ido Zelkovitz He explained some time ago in an interview with Infobae we The divide between civil society and the terrorist group has been increasingly blurred for years. That, he explained, applies to workers in the UNRWA. “In the morning I can be a nice UNRWA teacher, in the afternoon I write for the Hamas newspaper and get involved in the political wing of Hamas, and in the evening I put on the green headband, take up the Kalashnikov and am commander of my neighborhood brigade.”, Assured.
Although the scandal is breaking out now, there have been allegations for years of links between the agency ONU y Hamas. The terrorists began to use the facilities of the UNRWA for its activities during the 2014 conflict with Israel. During all this time, the agency itself admitted to having found weapons stored in three of its schools.
Also in 2014, for example, part of the parking lot at the headquarters of the UNRWA en Gaza began to sink, probably due to a tunnel Hamas dug underneath. “Nobody was talking about what was causing the collapse,” a former UNRWA official told the WSJ, “but everyone knew.”.
The health of the freed women
The Israeli Ministry of Health has established specific protocols for caring for the released hostages. According to the statement AFP, will be hospitalized for at least four days, with immediate access to psychiatric care. Women, in particular, will be subjected to pregnancy tests as part of their initial medical evaluation. This approach seeks to address both the physical and psychological needs of survivors, although experts warn that the recovery process could take years.
As detailed Channel 13 In Israel, specialists have designed a care plan that takes into account the specific needs of each patient, depending on the type of injuries and traumas suffered. In addition to vitamin supplements, they have been assigned a nutritionist to ensure that they recover their optimal nutritional status.
The terrorists' use, or misuse, of the protected facilities and UNRWA personnel is what Israel has been saying since the beginning of the war, or even for many years before. But it is also what nobody seems to believe in the left-wing media, at least in Spain. Even Spanish public television, now in the hands of the socialist and communist government, is excessively condescending towards the Palestinians in Gaza, constantly justifying it with these supposed indiscriminate attacks by Israel and repeating the high figures of Palestinian civilian deaths, which they copy from those published by the terrorist group Hamas.
Of course, the worst by far are the Spanish communists, if they are not directly in favour of Hamas' terrorist methods, as is the case, more than explicit, of some Spanish communist politicians, such as the worst of all, the MEP Manuel Pineda, who met in the past with the PFLP or with Ismail Haniyeh, former leader of Hamas eliminated by Israel. This Spanish communist politician is the first to sign up to all the pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel demonstrations, he always appears first holding the banner that leads the demonstrations, or a few years ago in a conference he said verbatim that the Palestinians have the right to use any method to defend themselves from Israel, until they achieve a Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, the famous phrase that is typical of Palestinian terrorists and that has even been repeated, apparently or one wants to believe without realising it, by the current vice-president of the government and the current leader of the communists, Yolanda Díaz. “Manuel Pineda is considered Yolanda Díaz’s man in Brussels, both for their shared militancy in the Communist Party of Spain and for their support of the Sumar project. Their vision of the “conflict” between Israel and Palestine is very similar, if not identical. He is a member of Samidoun, a support network for Palestinian terrorist prisoners. With these companies, it is not surprising that the second vice president of the acting government has chosen to censure Israel in the midst of the Hamas terrorist attack. The leader of Sumar has urged the Hebrew country to comply with the “resolutions of the United Nations” and “the legality” of international law.”
