Excellent by OCHA¡¯s Jonathan Whittal
It¡¯s become a pattern to silence voices who speak out against atrocities in Gaza.
The Israeli Government continues to ban international media from getting in: it¡¯s been over 660 days.
More than 220 Palestinian journalists have been killed.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ officials and humanitarian workers have been banned from going back to Gaza.
I was banned as of March 2024 following the International Court of Justice ruling provisional measures to improve humanitarian access in Gaza.
It¡¯s our duty to speak out on the atrocities and any breaches of International humanitarian law.
That¡¯s been a common practice for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.
Gaza is no different.
