The journalists worked for major outlets like AP, Al Jazeera, and Reuters, highlighting the urgent need for accountability and protection of media workers under international law.
OHCHR criticized attacks on hospitals and journalists as unacceptable and urged thorough investigations with real results. UNESCO also condemned the killings, stressing press freedom and providing emergency support to journalists in Gaza.
