Danish taxpayers contribute millions in aid every year. But where does the money go?

Olga Deutsch, Vice President of NGO Monitor, presents the findings of their latest investigation into Hamas’ systematic exploitation of the international humanitarian aid system, including declassified documents revealing how the terrorist organisation infiltrated, monitored and manipulated humanitarian organisations in Gaza.

Olga also examines the Danish government’s funding of NGOs active in the Israel–Palestine conflict. Which organisations receive Danish taxpayers’ money? What do these organisations stand for? How transparent is the government when it comes to the use of these public funds?

Olga will be joined by researcher Anaëlle Meyer.
