The organization stressed in its statement that there is no longer a safe place for journalists in Gaza. Whether they are visible in the field or in press tents set up near hospitals to facilitate media coverage, or they are resting with their families in their homes or in shelters, journalists are at risk of death in Any moment during their work to cover current events in the sector, yet they continue to convey the picture of this conflict, which is considered one of the bloodiest conflicts of the twenty-first century.

Reporters Without Borders reported that the toll of journalist casualties in the Gaza Strip is horrific, as “36 journalists were martyred in the Israeli raids on Gaza during 31 days of bombing,” and the organization noted that journalists are living under “permanent pressure from the continuous Israeli bombing.”

The organization pointed out the Israel’s claims that its forces do not target journalists, and stressed that the occupation does not hide its lack of commitment to protecting them, as at least 10 of the journalists who were martyred in Gaza out of 36 rose while covering the ongoing events, and according to “Reporters Without Borders,” they were It is easy for the occupation forces to know the nature of their work and their identity before targeting them.

Reporters Without Borders noted that the Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip destroyed more than 50 media offices, either completely or partially, noting that the Agence France-Presse office was added on November 3 to the list of media buildings that were destroyed.

Reporters Without Borders confirmed that the situation is tragic for the press in Gaza, where “more than one journalist has been killed every day since October 7, noting that this huge number of deaths among media actors, among thousands of civilians, is rising day after day.” .

The organization recalled statements attributed to Jonathan Dagher, Director of the Middle East Bureau at Reporters Without Borders, in which he said: “The situation is tragic for the press in Gaza, where more than one journalist has been killed every day since October 7, knowing that this huge number of deaths are among the perpetrators.” Media professionals, among thousands of civilians, are on the rise day after day, as the Israeli army, through its raids, is continuing to effectively eliminate them one by one, while describing in unacceptable statements the extent of its blatant disregard for international humanitarian law, which it ignores. In this emergency situation, we immediately demand the protection of journalists in Gaza and the opportunity for foreign correspondents to enter the Strip and work there freely.”
