At least 31 journalists have been killed covering the war between Israel and Hamas, said the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
Of the casualties, 26 were Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 1 Lebanese. A further 8 journalists have been reported injured, while 9 are considered missing or detained.
“Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict in the face of an Israeli ground assault... devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, and extensive power outages,” the organisation said in a statement on Monday, reports BBC.
Among the dead are Roshdi Sarraj - a well-known Palestinian filmmaker - and Issam Abdallah, a Beirut-based videographer for Reuters, who was killed near the Lebanon border by shelling coming from the direction of Israel, according to the CPJ.
