The latest news and updates on Mahmud Bassal, the prominent spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defence agency, a key figure in communicating the humanitarian situation and detailing casualties during the ongoing conflict. His responsibilities include reporting on Israeli strikes, coordinating emergency response, and providing updates to international media. He is known for detailing civilian deaths and the impact on infrastructure. However, the Israeli military alleges Bassal is an active Hamas operative, using his position for propaganda, a claim he vehemently denies, asserting his work adheres to international humanitarian law. His expertise lies in emergency response communication and humanitarian reporting.
