At least 140 journalists have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, according to the enclave's Government Media Office.
Reporters Without Borders said that more than 105 journalists have been killed in the enclave by Israeli bombardment since Oct. 7, including at least 22 who were killed "in the course of their work."
"This massacre must stop," said Jonathan Dagher, head of the organization's Middle East desk. "Gaza’s reporters must be protected, those who wish must be evacuated, and Gaza’s gates must be opened to international media. The few reporters who have been able to leave bear witness to the same terrifying reality of journalists being attacked, injured and killed. The Israel Defense Forces are silencing those who are driven by a duty to report the facts."
The organization called on the international community to ramp up pressure on Israeli authorities to end the violence.
"Palestinian journalism must be protected as a matter of urgency," Dagher said.
