Exclusive Gaza Municipality Says Shehab Is a Key Partner in Conveying the Humanitarian Reality and Exposing the Scale of Suffering in Gaza

Exclusive – Shehab

The spokesman for the Gaza Municipality, Husni Muhanna, praised the role played by the Shehab News Agency over the past years, especially during the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, in shedding light on the humanitarian reality and the difficulty of services in the Strip, and on the scale of the destruction that has affected infrastructure and essential services as a result of the war.

Speaking on the occasion of the Shehab News Agency launching its website in a new look, Muhanna said that the agency has been present at many junctures and has conveyed the voice of the municipalities and of those working in the field. 

He added that it has helped convey the voice and image of the major challenges facing Gaza City, whether at the level of the water, sanitation, waste and roads sectors, or in terms of the difficult humanitarian conditions experienced by citizens and displaced people in the Strip.

He explained that the municipality has sensed, through its constant monitoring, the Shehab Agency's keenness to get close to the issues that affect the lives of Palestinians and to highlight their needs and appeals. 

He considered this to be the important and most important role under the exceptional circumstances in the Gaza Strip, where the media has become a key partner in conveying the reality, exposing the scale of the suffering, and communicating people's needs to local, Arab and international public opinion.

Muhanna wished the Shehab Agency further success and progress in its new launch, and that it continue its professional role in conveying the truth and shedding light on citizens' issues. 

He expressed his hope that in the coming phase the agency will be more present and influential, and that it will remain close to the people and to the institutions working in the field, in order to serve them and serve the Palestinian cause, extending his greetings to those running it.

It is worth noting that the Shehab News Agency is a Palestinian news agency founded on 1 January 2007 in the Gaza Strip, and is considered one of the largest Palestinian news pages on Facebook, and its pages have been shut down more than once. 

The agency works around the clock to convey the true picture of events on the Palestinian arena, to entrench the principles of free professional media, and to document facts in sound and image so that they reach the world. It also provides news, production and technical services to local, Arab and international media institutions.

 The agency is launching its new website on the eleventh of November this month, in a new phase of its media journey.
