Between October 7 and December 17, 2023, the Israel-Hamas war killed 64 journalists and media workers.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), the majority of the slain journalists and media workers were Palestinian (57), with 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese citizens also among the casualties.

The CPJ also reported 13 injured journalists, 3 missing journalists, and 19 journalists arrested during the conflict.

Journalists and media workers covering the conflict also experienced various forms of violence, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and the murder of family members.

In addition to the figures above, the CPJ is still investigating several unconfirmed reports regarding other journalists killed, detained, injured, threatened, and reports of damage to media offices and journalists' homes.

"The CPJ emphasizes that journalists are civilians performing essential work during times of crisis and should not be targeted by warring parties," said Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, in an official statement on Sunday, December 17, 2023.

Mansour noted that journalists from various regions made significant sacrifices covering the conflict.

"Journalists in Gaza face extremely high risks while trying to report, including the risk of Israeli airstrikes, communication disruptions, and widespread supply shortages and power outages," said Mansour.

"Many of them lost colleagues, family members, and media facilities, and fled to safety when there were no safe shelters or escape routes," he added.

Most recently, *Al-Jazeera* cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa was killed by an Israeli drone strike while reporting at a UN school in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, on Friday, December 15, 2023.

His colleague, *Al-Jazeera* bureau chief Wael Al Dahdouh, was also injured in the same attack.
