This panel discussion will feature the situation in besieged Gaza and the non-access of foreign journalists. What are the implications of the Israel-Hamas conflict regarding the freedom of information and the wider region? Why have more than 150 journalists and media workers been killed covering Gaza and what tools have they used to investigate the war crimes committed? When does the media stop covering a conflict? And after all, how can journalists get to the truth?
As part of the session, the interview with Sami Abu Salem will feature as a pre-recorded broadcast from the Gaza Strip.
Youmna El Sayed, correspondent for Al Jazeera English, will be joining the session remotely via Zoom.
