Forty-five journalists were killed while on the job in the first 11 months of the year, media advocacy group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has said, noting that it was a decline from last year’s worldwide total despite the deadly toll of the Israel-Palestinian war.
The most lethal place for journalists by far this year was Gaza, where at least 13 journalists were killed while actively covering the war, according to the RSF’s annual report published on Thursday. The total number of journalists killed in Gaza – irrespective of the line of their work – was 56, RSF said.
