‘Are They Lesser?’ Matthew Caruana Galizia Calls Out Metsola And EPP For Silence On Starving Gaza Journalists

Wait 5 sec.

Matthew Caruana Galizia has called out European Parliament President Roberta Metsola and her EPP group for their silence on the countless journalists on the brink of starvation in Gaza.“If Roberta Metsola and other EPP politicians had to speak as loudly for each of these journalists as they did for my mother, they would be speaking about them for the rest of their lives. Are they children of a lesser god?” Caruana Galizia powerfully wrote on Facebook.

However, none of us can remember seeing a colleague die of hunger. We refuse to see them die,” the statement reads.Since the escalation of the conflict almost two years ago, over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza.Gaza has been facing a worsening humanitarian crisis since 7th October 2023. In recent months, there has been a deadly restriction on the entry of food and aid into the enclave. Products on the market are similarly scarce and difficult to access, with extremely inflated prices and a requirement to pay in cash, as banks charge high fees for providing it.•
