In the besieged enclave, cameras have become targets and words can cost lives as Israel’s genocidal war rages on. What once was a mission to report the truth has become a daily risk of death. Since Oct. 7, 2023, at least 212 Palestinian journalists have been killed -- most while reporting in the field or in their homes during airstrikes -- according to official and local statistics. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights recently confirmed it is the highest number of journalist deaths recorded globally in a single conflict since 1992. Journalists describe their profession as not only endangered, but also as being “burned alive on air.” Sami Shahadeh, a journalist who lost his leg in an Israeli airstrike and is barred from leaving Gaza for medical treatment, described the media landscape as a war zone. “Carrying a camera is now a cause for fear,” he told Anadolu. “There’s a deliberate campaign of distortion and targeting against Palestinian journalists. This isn’t random -- it’s systemic.” Shahadeh, like many of his peers, believes international institutions have failed them. “We deserve the right to carry our cameras, to share the truth,” he said. “It’s time for international courts to enforce the laws meant to protect us.” Ramzi Mahmoud, another journalist collaborating with Anadolu, survived the conflict but lost 19 family members, including his wife, daughter, mother and sisters, when Israeli bombs destroyed his home.
