UNRWA Provides Photographic evidence that recent media reports of stolen ambulances are false

Jerusalem, 10 August 2009

On the record statement by Christopher Gunness, UNRWA Spokesperson: "There have been a number of recent media reports, including in an Israeli newspaper and an Israeli radio station, that Hamas seized and stole three ambulances belonging to UNRWA. I have consistently denided this story and rejected it as part of a campaign of misinformation. This photograph clearly shows the Deputy Director of our Gaza office, Christer Nordal, standing in front of the three ambulances in the UNRWA compound in Gaza."
