US EditionUN expert calls for end of Gaza blockade in Cannes
- At the Cannes Festival on May 23, 2025, UN expert Francesca Albanese urged Israel to end its blockade of Gaza entirely rather than permitting only limited aid into the region.
- Her statement followed a two-month siege after Hamas's October 2023 attack triggered the conflict with significant civilian casualties on both sides.
- Albanese joined a press conference honoring Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli strikes, including photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, whose death sparked industry-wide protests.
- She said, "They must lift the blockade," as 107 aid trucks entered Gaza Thursday, far below the 500-600 daily UN deliveries during a broke-down March ceasefire.
- The call highlights severe shortages and famine risks for Gaza's two million people and underscores cultural figures' denunciation of "genocide" in an open letter signed by over 900 artists.
