</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>or more than two years, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a> has carried out a remorseless campaign of <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">erasure in Gaza</a>, reducing the territory to rubble. Many <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> in the enclave have been turned into accidental journalists. </p>
<p>Amid Israel’s ban on foreign journalists, the only sources of information have been the citizens living through and live-streaming the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/meaning-definition-what-genocide-israel-gaza" target="_blank">genocide</a>. Even so, their courageous efforts were not widely appreciated.</p>
<p>“There are no journalists in Gaza,” David Lammy, then the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">British</a> foreign secretary, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-david-lammy-blasted-claiming-no-journalists-gaza" target="_blank">asserted</a> late last year. The same sentiment was <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/christiane-amanpour-says-there-are-no-journalists-gaza" target="_blank">expressed</a> by prominent CNN presenter Christiane Amanpour. </p>
<p>The implication was that Palestinians could not be trusted to narrate their reality accurately or objectively, and that only mainstream journalists could serve as credible truth-tellers to aid public understanding.</p>
<p>Rooted in hubris, this theory has been put to the test and comprehensively shattered, as journalists from Britain’s main broadcasters - including ITV, Sky News and the BBC - recently entered Gaza, and characteristically obscured the reality. They upheld the fiction that Gaza represents the site of complex warfare, not meticulously orchestrated mass slaughter.</p>

</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Global human rights body Amnesty International on Thursday said Israel is continuing the genocide in Gaza, more than a month after a ceasefire was announced and all living Israeli captives were released. </p>
<p>"Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, without signalling any change in their intent," Amnesty International said in a statement. </p>
<p>“The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal. But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over,” said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International.</p>
