Euro-Med Human Rights Urges Ending Gaza Media Block
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor urges the international community to swiftly intervene to end the media blockade imposed on Gaza, which prevents independent international media outlets and foreign journalists from entering and accessing essential equipment needed to perform their duties. The report confirms that more than 262 Palestinian journalists have been killed since October 2023, with hundreds more injured and detained, marking the highest toll among media personnel during an ongoing conflict. It also points out that Israel continues to prohibit the entry of protective and essential journalistic equipment, hindering the documentation of violations of international law and undermining international oversight of the crimes being committed. The monitor calls on the international community to take urgent measures to ensure journalists and their equipment can operate independently and safely, and to pressure Israel to comply with its legal obligations and protect journalists and civilians during the conflict.
