Journalists film from atop a damaged building facing the ravaged Al-Salam hospital in Khan Yunis in Gaza in April 2024 – Copyright AFP\/File –<\/small><\/em><\/p>\nUNESCO on Thursday awarded its world press freedom prize to all Palestinian journalists covering the war in Gaza, where Israel has been battling Hamas for more than six months.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn these times of darkness and hopelessness, we wish to share a strong message of solidarity and recognition to those Palestinian journalists who are covering this crisis in such dramatic circumstances,\u201d said Mauricio Weibel, chair of the international jury of media professionals.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs humanity, we have a huge debt to their courage and commitment to freedom of expression.\u201d<\/p>\n
Audrey Azoulay, director general at the UN organisation for education, science and culture, said the prize paid \u201ctribute to the courage of journalists facing difficult and dangerous circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 97 members of the press have been killed since the war broke out in October, 92 of whom were Palestinians.<\/p>\n
The war started with Hamas\u2019s unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.<\/p>\n
Israel estimates that 129 captives seized by militants during their attack remain in Gaza. The military says 34 of them are dead.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s retaliatory offensive against Hamas has killed at least 34,596 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run territory\u2019s health ministry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
