Two top UNRWA officials resign
Two top UNRWA officials have resigned their positions and will be heading back to North America.Adnan Abu Hasna said Barbara Shenstone, the West Bank director, and John Ging, based in the Gaza Strip, were stepping down.Ging is quite popular among the 'Palestinians.' Shenstone is less so. Read the whole thing. Maybe she will speak the truth once she is home?
“Ging has proved through his continuous work in the Gaza Strip, and during times of crisis, that he is an authentic defender of Palestinian rights, and endeavored to improve their living conditions,” Abu Hasna said.
“The people of Gaza know what Ging has done for them before and after the war.”
Ging is to join the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in New York and Shenstone is to return to her native Canada, UNRWA commissioner-general Filippo Grandi said in a brief statement.
"Barbara and John have made exceptional contributions to UNRWA’s work under the most difficult circumstances: their commitment to ensuring the quality of UNRWA services has been extraordinary," he said.
Neither Shenstone nor Ging could immediately be reached for comment. UNRWA officials in Ramallah said the international agency would release a statement explaining why the two officials resigned.

No. I don't harbor any real hope the Palestinian welfare racket that is UNRWA will ever be exposed. Too many people benefit from opposition to Israel's existence for it to ever be dismantled. Don't hold your breath waiting for UNRWA to go away for good in our lifetime.
