THE DAILY BEAST, July 20, 2014 - Reached by phone in Barcelona, Spain, UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness insisted that the local authorities in Gaza report to the Palestinian government in Ramallah, not to Hamas. “As far as we are concerned, the government that we are dealing with now is the government of national consensus and they have authority over the organization that we dealt with for getting rid of these rockets from our school,” said UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness. “We handed them over to the relevant authorities, and that organization, as it were, the experts that came and did it, are under the government of national consensus in Ramallah.”
