UN envoy Albanese calls for sanctions after journalists killed in Gaza strike

In an interview with Al Jazeera, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital that killed at least 20 people, including journalists and members of Gaza’s civil defence.
Among them was Al Jazeera photojournalist Mohammed Salama and four other journalists working for the Associated Press, Reuters, and Quds Network.
She described the attack as "disgraceful" and "abominable," stating it was part of a pattern where journalists are targeted for "what they're doing."
Albanese argued that Israel's illegal occupation and its actions—from attacking hospitals to imposing a famine—amount to international crimes, creating an "apocalyptic" situation in Gaza.
She insisted that member states who are "not doing enough to stop it are themselves making themselves responsible" and called for urgent sanctions and for nations to break the naval blockade with humanitarian aid.
