More than 250 media in more than 70 countries have organized a first -page demonstration highlighting the murder of more than 200 journalists in the War of Israel against Gaza, said journalists without borders (RSF) Media Freedom Group.
“At the rate, journalists are killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, there is no one left to keep you informed,” the group’s general manager Thibaut Bruttin said on Monday.
The demonstration, also supported by the world campaign movement, Avaaz, was presented on media websites such as Tel Aviv Tribune, the British newspaper The Independent, French newspapers La Croix and the Humanite, and the German newspapers Tageszeitung and Frankfurter Rundschau, according to RSF.
About 220 journalists were killed during the War of Israel in Gaza since its beginning on October 7, 2023, according to RSF data. An independent analysis of Tel Aviv Tribune reveals that at least 278 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel in the last 22 months, including 10 from the network.
The demonstration on Monday was organized a week after five journalists – Mohammad Salama d’Tel Aviv Tribune, the cameraman Reuters Hussam Al -Masri, the independent journalist Mariam Abu Daqqa working for the Associated Press, Ahmed Abu Aziz and Moaz Abu Taha – were killed in two Israeli strikes at the Khan Younis hospital.
Earlier in August, six journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif in Tel Aviv Tribune, were killed in an Israeli air strike on a tent that houses media workers outside the main door of the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The strike targeted Al-Sharif.
In total, seven people were killed in the attack, including three other Tel Aviv Tribune employees – the correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh, 33, and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, 25, and Mohammed Noufal, 29.
Those who participate in the demonstration “require the end of impunity for Israeli crimes against journalists in Gaza, the emergency evacuation of journalists seeking to leave the band and this foreign press obtains independent access,” said the RSF statement.
The media group said it had filed four complaints to the International Criminal Court for War Crimes that said the Israeli army had joined journalists in Gaza.
International media have been denied free access to the Gaza Strip since the war broke out.
Some selected points of sale have integrated journalists with Israeli army units operating in Gaza subject to strict military censorship.
Israel killed at least 63,459 Palestinians in Gaza, most women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
