#1 "the closure of the Gaza Strip by Israel is seriously hampering UN work and it may have to reduce its operations there."
Heh, that's an excellent reason to maintain the closure in and of itself! There's no bigger friend to terrorists and dictators than the UN.

#2 Kick UN altogether from Gaza, give its budget to a private charity and maybe, maybe things will start to improve. Doesn't look they can go any worse.

#5 Gaza Strip closure hampers UN work

Sounds like some water or sewer project closing down the Gaza Strip to traffic for a while. Please forgive me. It's been a long day and I am getting a bit goofy......

#7 Perhaps if the UN agencies weren't hogging all the jobs in health care, education and social services there might actually be some jobs available for the locals.
