Seth Frantzman hits the nail on the head on the incestuous and criminal relationship between the UN, UNRWA and other NGO's operating in Gaza. Behavior that would never be accepted in any other 'conflict' zone.
Hamas has exploited UN facilities, NGO's and civilian institutions in Gaza for decades. It is part of the DNA of Hamas to use every civilian site in Gaza for its own purposes.
Hamas wants headlines such as "Israeli airstrike on school" or "Israel raids hospital" because Hamas knows that the information appears to be on its side in a conflict that is as much about information warfare as it is about Hamas gunmen hiding out.
The international community prefers a code of silence when it comes to Hamas in Gaza. Instead of condemning it for entering schools or reporting and monitoring on this phenomenon, most NGOs and the UN prefer either not to mention Hamas or to condemn, in general, "armed groups" for operating in civilian institutions in Gaza.
This terminology is deliberate:
Not naming Hamas means that organisations don't have to work to separate their local staff from Hamas…or Palestinian Islamic Jihad in their roster of local employees, volunteers or the gunmen who "protect" aid convoys.
