Gaza city: Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, said the Israeli army continues to silence voices reporting atrocities from the Gaza Strip.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Lazzarini expressed horror in a post on X at the Israeli killing of another five journalists in Gaza City. He stated that since the war began, more than 200 Palestinian journalists have been reported killed with total impunity.
Lazzarini highlighted that Israel is also blocking access of international journalists to report independently since the war began nearly two years ago. He emphasized the urgent need to protect journalists and allow international media into Gaza to support the work of their Palestinian colleagues. He remarked, 'Journalists must be protected and International media must get into Gaza to support the heroic work of their Palestinian colleagues.'
He concluded by stating that allowing journalists into Gaza is essential to counter disinformation and prevent doubts about the scale of atrocities committed in the region.
