Gaza women's TV channel blocked by Hamas
19 February 2018
Authorities in Gaza have blocked the launch of a women's television channel there, just before it was due to go on air.
Officials from the Palestinian militant Islamist group Hamas, which dominates the territory, said Taif TV had not obtained the necessary licences.
However the channel said it had met all the legal requirements.
Civil liberties groups have long criticised Hamas for what they say is a poor record on women's rights in Gaza.
