...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
director of the UN agency that deals with Paleostinian refugees has been called in for consultation with his bosses in Jerusalem after angering Paleostinians with comments they said favored Israel during last month's fighting.
Protests have erupted in the territory over the comments by UNRWA Gaza chief Matthias Schmale in an interview with Israel's N12 television on May 22, in which he said he did not dispute Israel's assertion that its air strikes were "precise".
Eleven days of conflict between Israel and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", erupted on May 10. More than 250 Paleostinians were killed in hundreds of Israeli air strikes in Gaza. More than 4,000 rockets, many intercepted, fired by Gaza snuffies killed 13 people in Israel.
Hamas, the group that rules the enclave has ridiculed him as "a front man for the Israeli military".
Schmale, based in Gaza, has apologized for his remarks in which he was commenting on the ferocity of the air strikes and said: "... precision was there but there was unacceptable and unbearable loss of life on the civilian side".
Sami Mshasha, UNRWA's front man in Jerusalem, said on Wednesday Schmale and his deputy had been "called in for consultation and discussion at the Jerusalem headquarters over the latest developments in Gaza".
Another official told Rooters that Deputy Commissioner-General Leni Stenseth would temporarily lead the Gaza team.
UNRWA provides education, health and relief services to around 5.7 million Paleostinian registered refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch...and Syria.
"In the coming few weeks, UNRWA will review the emergency response mechanism in Gaza to determine lessons and conclusions to improve UNRWA's response and performance during times of crisis and emergency," Mshasha said in a statement.
In a statement on May 25, Schmale said in apology: "There is no justification whatsoever for killing civilians." He said: "Military precision and sophistication are never a justification for war."
Israel's foreign ministry has said its forces acted "in accordance with international law, in defending our citizens from Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket fire".

...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
Relief and Works Agency told Channel 12 that Schmale had been called back to Jerusalem for consultations and had decided to take an extended leave of absence.
Schmale’s deputy David de Bold was also deemed persona non grata by Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, according to Paleostinian media, which said the terror group was demanding that both he and Schmale be fired.
The UNRWA front man told Channel 12 that De Bold would continue his job remotely from Jerusalem and that Deputy Commissioner-General Leni Stenseth would run the Gazoo office on-site in the interim.
A protest scheduled outside UNRWA’s headquarters for Wednesday was canceled following Schmale’s departure.
