Unrwa slams Gaza media ban, says ‘no one can claim they didn’t know’
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has condemned Israel’s continued ban on international journalists entering Gaza, calling the situation a “livestream of horrors” that has lasted for 650 days.
In a post on X, the agency said its staff are still operating on the ground “starving and exhausted,” and warned that “no one can claim they didn’t know”.
Unrwa repeated its urgent appeal to lift the siege and allow the entry of life-saving aid, including food and medicine, as Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens.
The ban on international media to enter Gaza continues.

The livestream of horrors from #Gaza goes on despite the ban, for 650 days. No one can claim they didn’t know.
UNRWA teams work although they themselves are starving and exhausted.
