Gaza: As many as 40 more Palestinians were martyred in Israeli attacks on different parts of Gaza today.
A total of 44,758 Palestinians have been killed and 106,134 injured in Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023, the Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Monday.
The Israel-Gaza war has taken an unprecedented toll on Gazan journalists since Israel declared war on Hamas following its attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.
As of December 9, 2024, Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) preliminary investigations showed at least 137 journalists and media workers were among the more than tens of thousands killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Lebanon since the war began, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.
Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, famine, the displacement of 90% of Gaza’s population, and the destruction of 80% of its buildings.
CPJ is investigating more than 130 additional cases of potential killings, arrests and injuries, but many are difficult to document amid these harsh conditions.
