Palestinian journalists in Gaza earn UNESCO press prize for courageous reporting
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterLinkedinWhatsapp

Palestinian journalists covering the recent surge of violence in Gaza following events on October 7 have been honored with the World Press Freedom Prize by UNESCO, as reported by AFP on Thursday. The courageous coverage by journalists like Motaz Azaiza, Plestia Alaqad, and Bisan Owda has garnered praise from around the globe.

Mauricio Weibel, chair of the international jury of media professionals, emphasized the solidarity and recognition owed to Palestinian journalists for their brave reporting amid challenging circumstances. He highlighted their commitment to freedom of expression as essential in times of darkness and despair.

UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay commended the prize recipients for their courage in facing difficult and dangerous conditions. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 97 journalists have lost their lives since Israel’s military operation began in October, with 92 of them being Palestinians.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive since October 7 has led to a devastating toll in Gaza, with the Palestinian health ministry reporting the deaths of at least 34,596 people, predominantly women and children. A recent report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has underscored the severe economic repercussions of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

The report warns of a significant setback to economic growth in the occupied Palestinian territories due to Israel’s military assault, with potential devastating consequences if the violence persists. If the aggression continues, the UNDP projects a contraction of economic output by up to one-third in 2024 compared to pre-war estimates, exacerbating existing challenges and pushing more Palestinians into poverty.

Poverty rates could surge dramatically, with projections suggesting that over 60 percent of the population may live below the poverty line if the military operation continues for nine months. This would result in an additional 1.86 million people falling into poverty, worsening the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region.
