Israel has refused to renew the visa of the UN humanitarian office chief in the occupied Palestinian Territory, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
"In my case, specifically, I was given recently a one-month extension, and I was warned that would not be renewed beyond this one month," Andrea De Domenico said in a virtual news conference.
"The straw that broke the camel’s back is the publication of the ‘Children and Armed Conflict Report’ from the UN, and they alluded to the long- standing issue of reporting that OCHA has been doing," he added.
De Domenico added that there has been no formal communication with Israeli authorities despite their repeated requests.
