Israel's war on Gaza claims lives of 183 journalists, highest toll on record

The Gaza government media office reported that the number of journalists killed has reached 183 since the beginning of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.

According to data from the Committee to Protect Journalists, based in New York, the Gaza conflict is now the “deadliest for journalists” since the organisation began documenting journalist fatalities worldwide in 1992.

The International Center for Journalists, a Washington-based NGO, said in February that violence against journalists in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels in the past 30 years, urging Israel to cease these actions and investigate the killings of media personnel by its forces.
