From the Irish Times:
John Ging is an ex-Army officer who worked in Rwanda during the
genocide and was in the Balkans when ethnic cleansing took place. As
one of the UN’s main men on the ground in Gaza, he says the current
Palestinian situation is the worst he has ever encountered…

When asked for personal background for this profile, Ging told The
Irish Times to feature a double-amputee child from Gaza instead of him.
He insists that the heroes of this dark chapter of Gaza’s history are
the people of Gaza and the refugees whom UNRWA serves. They have
suffered untold tragedy and they should be featured, not him….
"You cannot use artillery shells and tank rounds in such an environment.
This is what we’ve all be saying for so long and we’re now, of course,
at the receiving end here. But so too are tens of thousands, in fact,
hundreds of thousands of people. Our plight is their plight.”
