Any organization working within Gaza likely has to do a lot of "working with" Hamas. Hamas likely tightly controls who is and who is not allowed to receive funds and goods. The longer an organization is in Gaza, the more integrated Hamas gets with them.

I doubt that things go as far as, for example, having the leadership of Hamas in decision making positions in the UNRWA. It's likely more akin to the way some government organizations would have to work with mafias in countries without a clear rule of law.
