Global Media Join RSF–Avaaz Action Urging Protection, Access for Gaza Journalists

Organizers point to a deadly toll on Gaza reporters under tight restrictions on independent coverage.

Overview

  • More than 250 media across roughly 70 countries joined the RSF/Avaaz campaign with blacked‑out fronts or homepage messages.
  • RSF reports over 210 journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023, including at least 56 it says were deliberately targeted by the Israeli army.
  • The coordinated push follows strikes a week ago that killed five reporters near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younès, according to participating outlets.
  • RSF says it has filed four complaints to the International Criminal Court alleging war crimes against journalists over the past 22 months.
  • International reporting from Gaza remains tightly restricted, with only select, IDF‑embedded visits allowed under military censorship, RSF notes.
