Journalists covering the war have also experienced “multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members”.
“Journalists across the region are making great sacrifices to cover this heart-breaking conflict,” the CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa programme coordinator Sherif Mansour said in a statement.
“Those in Gaza, in particular, have paid, and continue to pay, an unprecedented toll and face exponential threats. Many have lost colleagues, families, and media facilities, and have fled seeking safety when there is no safe haven or exit,” he said.
