🚨 BIG NEWS! 🚨
Announcing THE FIRST JASMINES by @saimabgm—winner of the @MFestUK short story competition!

This is a very hard read. But read it. Read every word and understand the tremendous suffering that Palestinian journalists have endured to keep eyes on Gaza. Wael al-Dahdouh will always be my hero in journalism. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

We are aware of the accusations currently being made by Israel against @AlJazeera journalists. Israel has a long history of smearing Palestinian journalists as terrorists without providing credible evidence, and with deadly consequences. 1/3
