In response to @NGOmonitor, NORWAC claims: “We are not under Hamas’ dictate.”
Yet their own employee admitted Hamas leaders exploited Gaza hospitals while NORWAC was active there.
🧵Any NGO working with Gaza’s MoH follows Hamas’ security agenda – NORWAC is no different. >
NORWAC’s CEO dismissed our evidence of Hamas’ use of health facilities for military purposes as “fake news.”
Yet NORWAC has not even requested the underlying documents.
How can an NGO make such claims without reviewing the evidence? >
NORWAC has signed formal agreements with the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, which operates under Hamas’ MoINS terror agenda (see our report ⬇️). These include projects at Shifa Hospital, built above Hamas’ tunnel network. 📸 NORWAC’s director with Hamas MoH officials. >
🚨 Stay tuned. We will soon release new evidence showing that NORWAC and other NGOs in Gaza were forced to work not only under the rules of the Hamas Ministry of Health but also the Ministry of Interior and Security (MoINS), which is run by Hamas’ military wing. >
If you haven’t yet read our new report: leaked Hamas documents, obtained exclusively by NGO Monitor, expose how NGOs worked alongside Hamas inside Gaza hospitals that were turned into terror bases.

‼️BREAKING: Leaked docs show Hamas admits to using Gaza hospitals as terror infrastructure, in files authored by its Interior Security Mechanism and obtained by NGO Monitor. Hospitals served as command hubs while NGOs went along under Hamas rules.
Here’s what they reveal 🧵➡️
In the docs, hospitals are places:
“that the wounded – who hold sensitive positions in the resistance – are gathered in during times of escalation"
“of gathering for numerous leaders of the [Hamas] movement and the government during times of escalation"
Thus ➡️
Hamas authorities should "not engage medical delegations in the case of resistance leaders [on the premises], and take caution with regard to regular members [of Hamas].”
Their offices “must be outside the main building of the clinic or hospital and far away from [Hamas] movement’s locations and [only] following security approval". ➡️
One way is aid diversion, which is still ongoing. Since at least 2007 when the terror group took over Gaza, it has diverted and controlled humanitarian aid – funding tunnels, weapons, and supplies used in the massacre. It works like this ⬇️
Diversion via MoSD:
👉Eur gov’ts (🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇪🇸) fund Gaza programs for cash aid, food vouchers, etc.
👉Money flows through UN agencies (UNICEF, WFP) & NGOs (@mercycorps, @Oxfam).
👉In Gaza, the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) is a main partner in the process. >>
Hamas has controlled MoSD-Gaza for years. In 2019, Hamas politburo member Ghazi Hamad became its head.
MoSD decides who appears on aid lists, giving Hamas power over distribution. >>
Exclusive: European governments are funding Gaza aid programs that are coordinated with a Hamas-run ministry. 🧵
NGO Monitor’s new report shows how a deliberate workaround gives Hamas control over aid from 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇪🇸. >
via @LahavHarkov @j_insider
The ministry in question is Gaza’s Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) – headed by Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas politburo member and U.S.-designated terrorist who justified the Oct 7 attacks.
UN agencies and NGOs rely on his ministry’s lists for cash and voucher recipients. >
This setup gives Hamas the ability to:
– Decide who receives aid
– Enforce loyalty through resource control
– Divert funds to tunnel construction, logistics, and salaries
– Profit via Hamas-linked brokers who charge up to 40% in withdrawal fees

🧵 Mainstream TV networks (@ABC @CNN @HBO) are amplifying unverified NGO accusations that 🇮🇱 is deliberately starving Gaza, often relying on data from Hamas-run sources. The most egregious recent example: @iamjohnoliver segment, which leans on dozens of NGOs to push this libel ➡️
In his recent episode, @iamjohnoliver claimed "Gaza is being starved by Israel” referencing NGOs: @MSF @amnesty @christian_aid @mercycorps @btselem @PHRIsrael @Oxfam & “100 other agencies". No mention of 🇮🇱 perspectives or Hamas’ aid diversion➡️
Our research demonstrates that these NGOs promote harmful anti-Israel agendas attacking Israel's legitimacy. Many push BDS campaigns, apartheid rhetoric, genocide libels, lawfare and some coordinate with Hamas-run ministries risking aid diversion. ➡️
This bizarre story exemplifies the dire need for aid oversight in Gaza 🧵
1️⃣ Yesterday, a notice on @gcmhpmedia’s website detailed an internal corruption scandal alleging “the embezzlement of millions of dollars from the Gaza Mental Health Programme” – meaning itself – “funded by international organizations” >
2️⃣ The funds “meant for medications and therapy sessions” were reportedly diverted into “the personal accounts of senior officials.”
GCMHP is funded by the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, and the @UN.
Today, their website is down.
3️⃣ A month ago, GCMHP’s now-defunct site published a statement announcing that its President, Raji Sourani, had resigned “amid reports that he uncovered financial and administrative misconduct and corruption within the organization.”
🚨A few minutes ago, the infamous @UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presented a report accusing 45+ global companies of contributing to “genocide” via their business ties to Israel.
While framed as a legal assessment, the report - rooted in biased NGO-claims - advances a dangerous political agenda 🧵>>
Beyond the obvious “genocide” libel at the core of the report (“From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide”) it pushes a false legal narrative: that private companies linked to the West Bank are violating international law. >>
It’s no coincidence the companies named in the report operate from countries closely allied with Israel. Albanese’s goal: isolate Israel, pressure divestment, legitimize BDS, and criminalize doing business with the Jewish state. >>
