Just because you’re their biggest supporter doesn’t mean they won’t attack you; the brave blue saviors of the world are retreating from the world they helped build in Gaza: UN Pulls Staffers From Gaza After Gunmen Try to Kidnap Mission Chief.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The United Nations yanked its refugees mission from Gaza after three masked Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a vehicle carrying the chief of the mission and tried to kidnap him, sources tell FOX News.

Gunmen blocked the car of mission chief John Ging, head of U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, and fired 11 bullets at his car as he tried to drive off.

The United Nations told all foreign staff members to leave Gaza immediately, a U.N. source told FOX News.

Ging said no one was hurt in the kidnap attempt in northern Gaza. Ging, a driver and a security official were traveling in an armored vehicle when the gunmen jumped out of a white Subaru and opened fire, he said.
