246 Journalists Murdered by Israeli Occupational Forces During the War on Gaza 

Background 
Journalism is in the process of being eradicated in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel’s refusal to heed calls to protect media personnel. The situation is dire for Palestinian journalists trapped in the enclave, where ten have been killed in the past three days, bringing the total media death toll in Gaza since the start of the war to 246. 





Gaza's lament resounds, ink stifled in despair,
246 journalists fallen, a grievous share.
In the grip of Israeli occupation's test,
Pens laid to rest, truth suppressed.

Locked gates of Rafah, a plea to the world,
Break the silence, let truth be unfurled.
Occupation's weight on storytelling quills,
A century's sorrow, the journalistic hills.

International eyes denied, entry's plea,
Gaza's stories veiled, yearning to be free.
No refuge, no escape, in this perilous dance,
Reporters seeking safety, a fleeting chance.

A plea for protection in occupation's grasp,
Journalism strives amidst a tumultuous rasp.
Beneath the Palestinian sky, resilience thrives,
Global voice, break the silence wide.

We stand firmly against injustice in all its forms. Nothing can justify the current war crimes committed by Israel in occupied Palestine. Equally, nothing can excuse the continued support offered by other nations to this apartheid regime. If you believe in human rights, dignity, and justice, then we urge you to boycott this rogue state. Silence is complicity, do what’s right.
