The official UNRWA Facebook account featured Rawia Helles in an UNRWA video, listing her as an UNRWA employee and the Director of the Khan Younis Training Center. One of Helles’ Facebook friends, Miki Yoshida de Vega, also confirmed that Helles is an UNRWA training center director in Gaza. Helles’ profile celebrated one of the October 7th Hamas terrorists as a “hero.”
On October 7th, the day Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and savagely massacred over 1,400 people, mostly civilians, wounding thousands more and taking over 220 hostages into Gaza, Rawia Helles celebrated one of the attackers as a “hero.” Her post named him as “Muhammad Walid Sabah, the raider” and eulogized him as “prince of Khan Younis.”
Translation:
Hero, hero, hero, a thousand mercies and may light shine on your soul!
Prince of Khan Younes
Muhammad Walid Sabah, the raider
Pray for mercy and atonement to be granted to him
