"Risk considerations". the risk of showing the world what Israel did to Gaza. .
A journalist with Canada’s public broadcaster was not allowed on the Canadian plane air dropping aid into Gaza because of Israeli restrictions. When she made it onto a Jordanian plane, she was not allowed to film what she saw of Gaza because Israel forbids it from being shown.
