They include men and women, freelancers and staffers, veterans with years in the field and young reporters on some of their first assignments. Some werekilled with their families at home, others were in vehicles marked “PRESS,” or in tents near hospitals, or out covering the violence. Many endured the same conditions as those they covered — hunger, displacement, and grief.
Israel has killed at least 184 Palestinian journalists since the war began
The war in Gaza has been the most dangerous conflict for journalists and media workers in recent history, observers say.
Among them:
—Ayat Khadoura, 27. The Al Quds University graduate shed light on the hardships families faced in the first weeks of the war. She became known for reporting on bombs striking her northern Gaza neighborhood, including one video in which she said Israeli forces had ordered residents to evacuate moments before a strike hit her home and killed her in November 2023.
— Hamza Dahdouh, 27. The son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza City bureau chief, he was killed in a January 2024 drone strike after leaving a reporting assignment at the site of an earlier strike in southern Gaza. He was the fifth member of his family to be killed.
TVNL Comment: Thank you, Associated Press editors, for paying tribute to some of the journalists killed in Gaza. Wonder why no foreign jounalists are allowed to enter the region. Also wonder why there is no outcry from other journalists throughout the world.
