💔 The Gaza Strip was hit by devastating news on August 25 when an Israeli strike targeted Nasser Hospital in the south, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists from Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others.
The tragedy hit close to home for the journalist's family. His brother tearfully shared that he was always chasing the truth and called him a fearless voice.
For many of us scrolling through our feeds between classes or Zoom calls, it is hard to imagine the risks reporters face on the frontlines. Yet in Gaza, capturing the story can be life threatening. Journalists often risk it all for that shot, that quote, that moment of truth. 📸
Global news agencies are calling for stronger protections to keep journalists safe in conflict zones. After all, when reporters can’t tell the story, the world loses a vital perspective. It is a reminder that press freedom is not just a buzzword—it is a lifeline for truth. 🌍
To the family of the slain journalist and the broader media community, our thoughts are with you. Let’s keep sharing their stories and pushing for a world where truth tellers can work without fear. 🕊️
