At least 50 journalists and media workers have been killed since the outbreak of the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas last month.

CNN reports that the data was released by the Committee to Protect Journalists on Monday night, while writing that this was the deadliest month for journalists since the press freedom group began tracking deaths in 1992.

On Saturday, five journalists were killed, marking the second deadliest day of the conflict, the report said. The deadliest day of the war was October 7 – when Hamas launched its shocking terror attack on Israel and six journalists were killed.

The committee has reported that it is verifying reports of journalists killed in the conflict, from sources in the region and from media reports.

 

" Journalists are civilians who do important work during times of crisis and should not be targeted by warring parties. Journalists across the region are making huge sacrifices to cover this conflict. Those in Gaza, in particular, have paid and continue to pay an unprecedented toll and face exponential threats. Many have lost colleagues, families and media facilities and fled seeking safety when there is no shelter or safe exit." Sherif Mansour, CPJ's program coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement.

The organization has published on its website the names of the journalists killed along with the circumstances of their death. /CNA
