ALBAWABA - Palestinian journalist Bayan Abu Sultan has reassured the world that she has "survived" after being out of contact since March 19, specifically since the beginning of the second incursion of the Israeli occupation army into Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Just an hour ago, journalist Bayan tweeted from her official account on the "X" platform, formerly Twitter, confirming that she has "survived."

Reporters Without Borders: Where is Bayan Abu Sultan?

The non-governmental organization Reporters Without Borders announced the disappearance of the Palestinian journalist Bayan Abu Sultan against the backdrop of the bloody events witnessed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, under the weight of the brutal Israeli bombardment.

The official account of Reporters Without Borders on the "X" platform published a tweet announcing the disappearance of the Palestinian journalist since March 19, where she was last seen at Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

The organization demanded in its tweet that the Israeli occupation army reveal the whereabouts of journalist Bayan during the past period to cover the bloody events in the Gaza Strip and expose the crimes of the Israeli occupation to the world, deliberately sharing images of destruction from inside Gaza, especially in the northern areas.
