UN: Humanitarian chief to step down due to health reasons

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

The United Nations’ humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths will step down in June, after three years due to health reasons, the UN announces.

Griffiths has been heavily critical of Israel since the outbreak of the war in Gaza and made headlines last month when he said Hamas is not considered a terror group.
