Wafa Idris arbetade frivilligt för palestinska Röda halvmånen och kunde därför i en ambulans ta sig till Jerusalem där hon 27 januari 2002 sprängde upp sig själv, dödade en och skadade över 150 personer.
De palestinska myndigheterna har vid upprepade tillfällen framställt Wafa Idris som en rollmodell för ungdomen och bland annat uppkallat sommarläger efter henne.

UNRWA responds to PMW report on sporting eventnamed after suicide bomber Idris
PMW cited the website which writes:
"Al-Amari youth center was established in 1953. Since its creation the center has been a subsidiary to the UNRWA youth club centers system. The center is located at Al-Amari refugee camp within Ramallah & Al-Bireh Municipality area."

PMW showed the website logo:The Al-Amari youth center's logo includes the word "UNRWA" near the top and center on the same page and just above the announcement where the Wafa Idris tournament is announced.
UNRWA statement about this use of UNRWA's name by the youth center:
Statement by UNRWA Spokesman, Chris GunnessThe United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA firmly rejects allegations made by Palestinian Media Watch that an "UNRWA youth center" named an event after a suicide bomber. The false accusation comes in an article posted by Palestinian Media Watch director, Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik.The allegation that an UNRWA youth center had named an event after a suicide bomber is patently false as UNRWA has not run youth centers in the West Bank for over ten years. By phone UNRWA spokesman told PMW that the use of the name "UNRWA" by the Al-Amari youth center in its logo was not authorized by UNRWA.
PMW response to UNRWA:
...PMW is very disappointed that UNRWA is condemning the messenger PMW and not condemning the Al-Amari Youth Center. UNRWA should be condemning the youth center, first and foremost, for sponsoring a football tournament named after a suicide terrorist. This was not mentioned in UNRWA's announcement at all.
Second, UNRWA should condemn the youth center for unauthorized use of the name UNRWA in their logo.
Third, UNRWA should condemn the youth center for publicizing on the internet a connection to UNRWA that no longer exists.
