Philippe Lazzarini has renewed calls to allow international journalists into Gaza, who have so far been prevented from reporting on the ground due to an ongoing Israeli blockade, Al Jazeera reports.
“This is unprecedented in any other conflict in history,” the UNRWA chief said, calling it a “ban on the truth.”
“It is the perfect recipe to fuel mis-information, deepening polarisation and dehumanisation,” he wrote on X.
Lazzarini added that nearly 200 local journalists have been killed so far while reporting on the conflict. Gaza’s government puts the toll at 226.
