UNRWA does not itself run any camps, has no police powers or administrative role, but simply provides services - such as schools and social services - to the camp. <br /><br />So it is the Syrian authorities, that have not been able to prevent the executions.<br /><br />This is competely analogous to the situation in Gaza, where the Palestinian Authority has responsbilities that are undermined by Hamas. <br /><br />I don't doubt that the camp services themselves are directly infiltrated by extremists. But even if they weren't, UNRWA has neither the mandate nor the resources to protect the camp residents.Dianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154661828240817938noreply@blogger.com
