The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees Organization (UNRWA) deleted a post on X, formerly Twitter, reporting that Gaza Health Ministry workers had stolen fuel and medical equipment from the agency.
@UNRWA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in #Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency's compound in #GazaCity.

On its official X account, the State of Israel reviewed the post that was removed by UNRWA and declared:
Wait @UNRWA - Did Hamas also break into your Twitter account? Or are you just scared of disappointing your terrorist friends?

Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Israel Katz, also stated, "Or in other words (...) Hamas is robbing the 'humanitarian aid' to the Palestinian people. There's no reason to give them anything until we eliminate Nazi Hamas."

The Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported what David Litman, senior analyst at the media watchdog CAMERA, said about the UN controversies. He called out the agency for "trying to imply Israel is at fault" for the events that have been happening in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for years:
In every conflict, UNRWA shrieks about damage caused to its facilities, clearly trying to imply that Israel is at fault. Every conflict, UNRWA is then forced to acknowledge that Hamas and other terrorists use its facilities.
