British and US intelligence agencies monitored the communications of international charities and aid organisations, according to leaked top secret documents.
GCHQ and the National Security Agency (NSA) targeted groups such as Unicef, the United Nations children’s charity, and Médecins du Monde, the French organisation that sends doctors into war zones.
Details of the surveillance emerged in documents obtained by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who fled the US and leaked a cache of files.
The finding that officials from apolitical charities were spied on is likely to heap more pressure on the US and British governments to rein in their electronic spying agencies after months of disclosures.
“There is absolutely no reason for our operations to be secretly monitored,” Leigh Daynes, an executive director of Médecins du Monde in Britain, said in response to the findings.
“We are an independent health charity delivering impartial care in some of the poorest places, including war zones,” Mr Daynes told the newspaper.
“Our doctors and medical professionals, many of whom are volunteers, risk their lives daily in some of the world’s most dangerous places”.
