On Criticism of UNRWA

A comment from a friend who attended a briefing on Capitol Hill yesterday by United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) operations director John Ging: "Shelly Berkley's staffer asked why UNRWA even needed to exist considering that the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR) exists and should be able to handle the refugee problem. It's interesting - UNRWA is currently the hated entity, but I am curious that if the UNHCR were in charge of the Palestinian refugee crisis, would the UNHCR became anathema instead?"
