Ron Krig, a member of the police mission, described the troubling scenes he has encountered in a diary entry that was made public by police on Monday.“It is difficult to ignore the many ruins, neglect and dirt in the streets, and of course the dozens of refugee camps along the way.

Everywhere, children ask for sweets and food. When we drink from bottles of water, thirsty children come to us. We can’t refuse their request for water, even though it is a drop in the ocean,” he added.The Israeli delegation received a warm welcome from all of the other UN security personnel it encountered, including forces from Italy, Nigeria, and Jordan, Krig wrote.“The Canadian deputy chief [of the UN multinational force] spoke warmly with us and was glad that we were a part his forces,” Krig said.
