How deadly is the Israel-Gaza war for journalists?
Indlieb Saber
At least 39 journalists have been killed in just over one month of Israel’s war on Gaza in what has been described as “the deadliest month for journalists.” That’s more than double the number of fatalities in one and a half years of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says 39 journalists, 34 of them Palestinian, have been killed since the latest conflict erupted on October 7.
At least four Israelis and a Lebanese journalist are among those who have lost their lives in the war. The Paris-based press freedom watchdog, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), has put the death toll at 41.
Christophe Deloire, RSF’s secretary-general, has described the toll as “shocking,” with the number likely to rise as the group continues to investigate reports of several other journalists either injured or missing.
