Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF) is outraged by the killing of five journalists in Gaza on August 25 in Israeli strikes at the Nasser Hospital. Israel must be held accountable for the horrific, continued violence against media professionals, and the latest killings must be investigated conclusively. The blatant, continued, and unparalleled targeting of journalists by Israel is a litmus test for the international community, which must show that it stands by a free press and journalists’ safety. The latest killings are the latest in the continued violence against journalists in Gaza since October 2023. Earlier in August, press freedom organizations called for an end to the forced starvation and targeting of journalists in Gaza by Israel.
