There’s a long series of jokes/sardonic comments built around the phrase, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” For the 21st century, however, it looks like the phrase needs to be updated to “I’m from the United Nations and I’m here to help you.”
I guess after expending all its energy condemning Israel and the United States, the UN just doesn’t have the time or resources to provide adequate security for its refugee camps.
