The undersigned members of the International Press Institute (IPI) Executive Board condemn in the strongest possible terms the unabated killing of journalists in Israeli airstrikes since the start of the Israel-Gaza war.
We – leading editors, journalists, and publishers from 20 countries around the globe – are united in horror over this unprecedented attack on journalist safety and press freedom. At least 80 journalists have now been killed in Gaza and southern Lebanon since October. This is the largest number of journalists killed in such a short span of time in a conflict zone since IPI was founded in 1950.
