😢 The UN chief is raising his voice — again. On Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the death of six Palestinian journalists in a deadly airstrike in Gaza City this Sunday.
“These latest killings highlight the extreme risks journalists continue to face when covering this ongoing war,” Stéphane Dujarric, the UN spokesperson, told reporters in New York. With at least 242 media workers killed in Gaza since the conflict began, Guterres stressed that reporters need protection, not bullets.
Guterres demands an independent and impartial investigation into these tragic deaths. He reminded everyone that journalists and media workers must be free from intimidation or harm. After all, they’re the eyes and ears keeping the world informed.
In a war that often feels like a blockbuster thriller gone wrong, the price for covering the front lines remains heartbreakingly high. As news enthusiasts, we depend on these brave voices to share stories that matter.
Let’s echo the call for justice and safety: journalists deserve respect and protection everywhere. 🕊️📰
