UN experts: “Israel” deliberately kills journalists in Gaza

United Nations human rights experts expressed in a statement on Thursday their concern about the high number of journalists killed in Gaza war, denouncing “the deliberate Israeli strategy to silence press coverage.”

The five independent experts commissioned by the Human Rights Council said in the statement that “rarely have journalists paid such a high price simply for doing their work, as journalists in Gaza are doing now.”

They added: “We are concerned about the very large numbers of journalists and media workers who have been killed, attacked, injured, or arrested in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza, in recent months.”

The experts noted that they had received disturbing reports that, although the journalists were clearly identifiable wearing press-branded vests and helmets or traveling in clearly marked press vehicles, they were still being attacked.
