Since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, at least 85 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza, with reports indicating that Israel has murdered over 118 journalists during what some describe as a genocidal war. This marks the highest fatality rate for journalists in a conflict zone recorded by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in over 30 years, surpassing the previous record during the deadliest year of the Iraq war in 2006. In comparison, 15 journalists have been killed in Ukraine between 2022 and 2024. The situation in the besieged strip has become so dire that journalists have been forced to halt reporting out of fear for their lives. A tribute to at least 85 of the fallen journalistic colleagues has been shared, highlighting the perils they faced. The Washington Post has documented some of the last photos and videos taken by these journalists, offering a view of Gaza through their lens. Palestinian journalists have recounted their traumatic experiences, including carrying dead bodies and body parts after Israeli air strikes, collapsing from malnutrition live on air, and losing family members, all while facing the constant threat of being killed.
