The head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) called for granting international media organisations access to Gaza to report on the increasingly dire situation on the ground, Al Jazeera reports.

UNRWA’s Philippe Lazzarini told a news conference in Berlin “most of the information that we are receiving is either by … local journalists or by organisations operating in Gaza”.

Lazzarini said that because there are so many different types of narratives on the conflict, “it is of utmost importance … that we continue to ask for the presence and all the access of international journalists”.
