I don't call myself a 'war reporter' but I reported on a war and 'my fixer' paid a price. This is how news is made in the West. TY to Jessica Reed Pulitzer Center's Tom Hundley my friend 'Zleke' for letting me tell his incredible story. theguardian.com/world/article/…

& after my denial, now this: “Rwandan immigration authorities denied entry to Clémentine de Montjoye, a senior researcher in the Africa division at Human Rights Watch, upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, on May 13, 2024” hrw.org/news/2024/05/1…

A United Nations staff member was killed and another injured while traveling to a hospital in Rafah on Monday morning.

'With hundreds of thousands of children in Rafah injured, sick, malnourished, traumatized or living with a disability, UNICEF calls for children to not be forcibly relocated, and the vital infrastructure on which children rely to be protected'

'If you’re watching this... then Al Jazeera has been banned in Israel.'

Al Jazeera's Imran Khan recorded his last report from occupied East Jerusalem, pre-empting the Netanyahu gov't’s unanimous decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel ⤵️

Nous condamnons avec la plus grande fermeté cet acte de violence choquant, impitoyable et ignoble qui a coûté la vie à des enfants, personnes déplacées, et leurs hôtes de la manière la plus cruelle qui soit !
