The UN humanitarian office chief in occupied Palestinian Territory said Israel did not extend his visa because of the latest UN report on violations against children in conflict in 2023, Anadolu Agency reports.

“The practice is a bit inconsistent, and that depends clearly on the relation and the perception that the authority has of the work we do. In my case, specifically, I was given recently a one-month extension, and I was warned that would not be renewed beyond this one month,” the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian Territory, Andrea De Domenico, told reporters in his final virtual news conference.

“The straw that broke the camel’s back is the publication of the ‘Children and Armed Conflict Report’ from the UN, and they alluded to the long-standing issue of reporting that OCHA has been doing,” he said.
