Today, Tuesday, the head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, Nasser Abu Bakr, delivered a letter of protest to the United Nations, rejecting the crimes of genocide against journalists in the Gaza Strip, and the targeting of their homes and families at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.

This came after a "coffin march" that started in front of the Ramallah Cultural Palace towards the neighboring United Nations headquarters, with the participation of dozens of journalists, who carried empty coffins on which were placed pictures of their dead colleagues who died in Gaza during the Israeli's aggression that has been going on for 32 days.

The letter called on international institutions to assume their responsibilities in providing protection for journalists, and to put an end to the targeting of journalists and media workers, in an attempt to prevent the transmission of the image and truth of the crimes committed by Israeli forces against civilians in Gaza.

Statistics from the Journalists Syndicate indicate that 31 journalists have been killed since the start of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, the most recent of whom is correspondent for the Palestinian News and Information Agency “Wafa,” Muhammad Abu Hasira, who died today along with a number of his family members, in an Israeli bombing that targeted his home in Gaza City, in addition to 10 others of those working in the media sector, two photojournalists have been missing since the 7th of last month.
