Palestinian journalists covering Gaza awarded 2024 UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize [1]

[]

Date: 2024-05

The ongoing conflict in Gaza is having grave consequences for journalists. Since 7 October 2023, UNESCO has condemned and deplored the deaths of 26 journalists and media workers in the line of work, based upon information from its international NGO partners. The Organization is reviewing dozens of other cases.

UNESCO supporting journalists in conflict worldwide

UNESCO is supporting journalists reporting from conflict and crisis zones. The Organization is distributing essential supplies to journalists in Gaza, and has established safe working spaces and provided emergency grants for journalists in Ukraine and Sudan. UNESCO is also giving protective equipment and training to journalists in Haiti, and supporting independent media in Afghanistan.

More broadly, UNESCO promotes the safety of journalists through global awareness-raising, training and by coordinating the implementation of the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity.
