Palestinian journalist bodies demand accountability on global anti-impunity day

On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, Palestinian media institutions demanded accountability and international protection for reporters in Gaza and the West Bank.

• Mada Center said it documented 2,542 violations against journalists and media outlets from October 2023 to September 2024, including 314 killings.
• The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said 260 journalists have been killed since the war began, urging international protection.
• Mada and the Forum of Palestinian Journalists called for independent international investigations into journalists' killings and prosecution of perpetrators.
• Both groups demanded the release of detained journalists and immediate entry of international media into Gaza, citing UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report on media during genocide.
