On August 18, Ibrahim Muhareb, a freelance photojournalist, was killed by gunfire and shelling as Israeli troops advanced on Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. On August 20, journalist Hamza Murtaja was killed in Gaza City when an Israeli airstrike hit the Mustafa Hafez school.

The IFJ, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Palestinian Journalists Society (PJS) call for an immediate investigation into the killings of journalists in Gaza, and an end to attacks on those covering the war.

Last month, thanks to contributions from federations and UNESCO, PJS opened its first solidarity center in Khan Yunis, providing journalists with internet, equipment and a safe working space.
