"I got SO tired of writing about dead kids," he said. "Just constantly having to prove to Washington that these children actually died and then watching nothing happen."

It was a slow accumulation of bureaucratic betrayals - each report dismissed, each humanitarian concern bulldozed by political expediency

"We would write daily updates on Gaza," he said. Colleagues used to joke, he said, that they could attach cash to the reports and still nobody would read them.
