NUJ urges donations to the IFJ Safety Fund as journalists’ killings rise in the war, one year after 7 October.

UPDATE: the deaths of two journalists on 22 and 26 August mean 126 Palestinian journalists have been killed since 7 October 2023.

Nearly 10 per cent of the journalist community working in Gaza has been killed, reports IFJ treasurer Jim Boumelha, and now journalists' donations are funding media centres with facilities so they can work and receive food and health parcels.

David Mencer was abusive during an interview with BBC Today presenter Mishal Husain.

The fund will provide $1m to media organisations in Palestine and aims to protect the future of media amid ongoing conflict in the region.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) will launch its first solidarity centre on 23 July in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

The union is proud to host the International Federation of Journalists ahead of a series of meetings this week.

As the death toll in Gaza rises to horrific levels and more than 300 BBC World Service journalists are working in exile as crackdowns on press freedom increase across the globe, today’s World Press Freedom Day finds hard-fought journalists’ rights and safety in a difficult place.

Journalists will soon benefit from a solidarity centre in Khan Younis where they will be able to access electricity, the internet and other equipment.
