At least 184 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, according to Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a non-profit organisation that advocates for press freedom and the rights of journalists. Of these, 176 were Palestinian.
For nearly 19 months, Israel has blocked the foreign press from entering Gaza to report on the war, leaving a small number of local Palestinian journalists to cover the conflict.
Israel’s ongoing refusal to grant foreign journalists access to the strip is “without precedent in modern times”, a recent letter from the world’s media warned.
Today on The Irish Times In the News podcast reporter Sally Hayden and CPJ chief executive Jodie Ginsberg discuss the implications of barring journalists from entering Gaza and the realities of reporting from a war zone.
This podcast episode was updated to include the contribution of Besan Imad Mohamed al-Mabhouh, a translator and media professional in Gaza, who gives her perspective on the dangers of practicing journalism within the strip.
