UN, UNRWA, Jordan & Egypt complicit in Gaza civilian casualties

By David Singer - posted Friday, 7 November 2025


Albanese omits any mention of the United Nations, UNRWA, Jordan and Egypt's failure to facilitate the transfer of 1.58 million refugees comprised in Gaza's population of approximately 2.4 million - housed in 7 UNRWA refugee camps in Gaza - to the comparative safety of 13 UNRWA refugee camps located in Jordan:

  • at any time between 7 October 2023 and 27 October 2023 when Israel's land invasion of Gaza began and
  • thereafter when several cease fires were negotiated.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was warned on 15 February 2024

Mr Guterres:

You have had four months to move these suffering Gazans to the safety of your own refugee camps outside Gaza – yet you have done nothing – preferring to leave them penned in Gaza as human shields preventing Israel expeditiously hunting down those Gazan monsters responsible for the heinous atrocities committed in Israel on 7 October 2023.

The United Nations was more interested in playing political games with Gaza's refugee population than ensuring their survival.

Jordan and Egypt were equally complicit in the deaths and injuries suffered in Gaza by refusing to accept woman, children, and aged and incapacitated refugees.

King Abdullah stated on 17 October 2023:

I think I can quite strongly speak on behalf of, not only Jordan as a nation, but of our friends in Egypt - that is a red line. No, refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt"

The United Nations, UNRWA, Egypt and Jordan stand condemned for materially contributing to the casualties sustained by Gaza's refugee population.
