The Government Media Office condemned "Israel's" ban on international journalists entering the Gaza Strip to report the Israeli war on Gaza, out of fear that its crimes will be aired and exposed to the world.
"The Israeli occupation persists in blocking international journalists from entering Gaza, aiming to conceal its acts of genocide and starvation policies while avoiding exposure of the undeniable reality," the statement said.
The media office added that Israeli authorities continue to spread lies denying the famine unfolding across Gaza, all while banning international journalists from entering the Strip to verify their claims, fearing the truth will be exposed through their lenses.
The statement challenges "Israel", calling on it to open border passages immediately to journalists from around the world to witness the humanitarian situation with their own eyes.
"The occupation’s prevention of media coverage is a full-fledged crime aimed at obscuring the features of the genocide and systematic starvation being inflicted upon our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," the media office added in its statement.
It also condemned the occupation’s ongoing restrictions barring foreign journalists from entering Gaza, urging the international community to adopt a decisive position to reveal the truth and end the media siege imposed on the Strip.
Sky News reporter describes Gaza as 'miles and miles of grey rubble'
Corroborating the Gaza Government Media Office's statement, Sky News reporter Sally Lockwood, who was aboard the symbolic aid drop flight in Gaza, reported that "Israel" warned any aerial shots of Gaza from the airplane would result in the cancellation of the air drop flights.
The reporter stated that as the aid plane crossed Gaza's border, the scene immediately became void of people, buildings, and cars, adding, "You can see the outline of communities and villages that are now flattened. Mile after mile of grey rubble."
"But Israel's tight grip has not stopped the images from Gaza getting out, horrifying people around the world," Lockwood stated, adding that "The question now is what more the international community will do about it."
