Through in-depth text and video stories, Daraj and its network of media partners in the Middle East will focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable sectors, including refugees, prisoners, healthcare workers, the elderly, and students. Some stories will have an accountability angle, including the lack of government transparency on COVID-19 testing and statistics, and the use of the coronavirus crisis as an excuse to increase surveillance and other repressive techniques. We will also examine how the pandemic has been used by radical movements to intensify their attacks.
