Overview

• The Sindicato dos Jornalistas da Palestina updated its tally to 252 media workers killed since October 2023, describing it as the largest loss of journalists in any armed conflict.
• About 400 journalists have been wounded and 647 homes of media workers destroyed, with many reporters displaced and living in improvised tents.
• The union says roughly 3,400 foreign journalists have been denied entry to Gaza since 2023, including about 820 from the United States.
• Shortly after a Brazil-hosted solidarity call, the tent where Gaza journalists spoke was reportedly bombed, and the Palestinian embassy said it was seeking information on possible casualties; Agência Brasil said it had requested comment from Israel and was awaiting a response.
• Recent incidents cited by the union include the late-August strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital that killed four journalists, including a Reuters reporter and an Associated Press collaborator.
