The Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC) confirmed yesterday that the number of journalists in the Gaza Strip who were martyred in the Zionist war of extermination exceeded three times the number of victims of World War II.
The PJPC added in a statement on the occasion of the Palestinian Journalist Loyalty Day, which falls on December 31, that the great losses suffered by Palestinian journalists in the war on Gaza will have long-term effects on journalism in Palestine and the entire region.
The center called in its statement on the international community to intervene urgently to stop the crimes committed by the Zionist enemy against Palestinian journalists who face serious challenges in light of the fierce Zionist campaign that aims to silence them and prevent them from conveying the truth to the world.
It stressed that the international community must assume its responsibilities and take decisive measures to stop the Zionist violations and ensure respect for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The PJPC called in its statement for immediate action to protect Palestinian journalists and enable them to perform their duties freely and independently and to pressure the Zionist enemy to release the detained journalists and hold accountable those responsible for targeting them.
Since the beginning of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the Zionist enemy has deliberately targeted Palestinian journalists by killing, arresting, and bombing their workplaces and vehicles, arresting many of them, in addition to the martyrdom of 201 journalists.
