UN chief: Israel's ban on international media in Gaza 'fuels disinformation campaigns'
Unrwa's Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said Israel's ban on international media "fuels dis-information campaigns," with accounts from eyewitnesses and international humanitarian organisations being questioned he said in a post on X on Friday.
Israel has blocked international media from reporting on the ground in Gaza, and has consistently targeted Palestinian journalists and their families.
For example, Israel targeted Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Wael Al- Dahdouh's family multiple times, killing his wife, two sons, daughter and grandson.
