A recent report by the Costs of War project indicates that the ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to the unprecedented killing of 232 journalists, representing an average of 13 deaths per week. This is more than all journalist casualties recorded from both World Wars, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslavian Wars, and the Afghanistan War combined. It remains uncertain how many journalists were specifically targeted versus those caught in the crossfire, yet severe risks continue to threaten local reporters, who are often under-resourced and struggling against unprecedented violence.
According to the Costs of War project, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan combined.
Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 232 journalists, averaging 13 per week, making it the deadliest conflict for media workers on record.
The report highlighted that 35 journalists were likely targeted directly by Israeli forces due to their work, with alarming cases corroborated by Reporters Without Borders.
Local reporters in Gaza, often underpaid and under-resourced, face unprecedented risks, exacerbated by a lack of foreign correspondents and access to the region.
