What do you think about your time in Gaza?

Robert turner unrwa biography of alberta: The recently announced decision

Robert Turner: It is easy to despair about Gaza , it is easy to look at all the problems and think, this can never be resolved. But you also say, look these people are remarkably resilient, they have been through a lot and if there is an opportunity they will take advantage of it. They will create opportunities. I am going to leave here very reluctantly in a way, because it has been such a remarkable experience but with some optimism that things can improve.

It is also a challenging work environment. You've experienced two wars, one in and you were in Gaza during the conflict last summer which lasted 51 days. We thought that the war was quite difficult until we had the one and then we thought well actually we thought that the one was a 'piece of cake' in comparison. Particularly last summer was in many ways absolutely horrible.

I think our response was remarkable, the response of the staff was remarkable and to have the opportunity to be part of that is something that I will never forget. They did an absolutely amazing job under extremely difficult conditions in a very dangerous context but they showed up - more than 5, people showed up for work every day to make sure that people were taken care of.
