Super stoked to have been awarded ‘Martin Adler Prize’ for 2023 at BAFTA by @rorypecktrust last night in London. I would like to dedicate this win to the brave journalists working in #Gaza who, in the line of duty, sacrificed their lives for journalism. @guardian

Saddened to see fellow journalists in US being attacked & tear gassed. Tips, if not wearing a gas mask: - do not rub your hands on your eyes. - rubbing a pinch of salt around eyes, helps combat the impact of the smoke. Take care, stay safe & keep reporting. Love from Kashmir.
