I think if you follow the news internationally or regionally , you do not need to know whom I am speaking about. In case you do not know , I am speaking late Shireen Abu Akleh , the famous Al-Jazeera correspondent in Palestine who was killed in cold blood by reportedly Israeli occupation forces in occupied West Bank on Wednesday.

The crime made international headlines that turned in to international outcry and anger following the barbaric attack of Israeli occupation Forces on her popular funeral on Friday in occupied East Jerusalem.

The cold-blooded murder of icon journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin : Her only crime was she was a Palestinian and a Journalist “Graphic”

It is the shock of the day.

In case you do not know, 51-years-old veteran journalist American-Palestinian Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli occupation forces according to her colleagues and mounted evidence earlier Wednesday Morning.

scared Shaza Hayanashia

Abu Akleh informed Al-Jazeera Network that she was heading to Janin refugee camp at about 6.13 AM Doha local time because Israeli forces stormed Janin refugee camp again and there were clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters once again.

For weeks if not months, Israeli forces have been storming areas endlessly in the occupied West bank killing and detaining Palestinians without accountability allegedly for fighting terrorism.

A veteran journalist who started her 25-years as a correspondent for Al-Jazeera Network, Shireen Abu Akleh went with a group of Palestinian journalists to enter the camp from an area near the Israeli forces.

She was an accredited journalist who wore the press vest and helmet when needed and when it was a must.

Second, in a sad turn of events, a fire erupted in Al-Orman botanical park, which is the oldest public park in Giza governorate on Monday. Al-Orman botanical park hosts Egypt’s Spring Flowers Show annually.

The Ministry of Agriculture spokesperson stated that the fire was put off and that it was a limited one and that it erupted in a waste area away from the rare plants and trees in the historical park.

I want to go again to check it.

#Coronavirus on the Nile : Covid-19 live coverage in Egypt and Arab world during May 2022

It is the third May under the coronavirus worldwide and there is a hope at least in our part of the world that it would be the last. Unlike the situation in Asia or Europe, there is a significant decline in Covid-19 cases recorded officially in Egypt and other countries in the Arab world.
