123 journalists killed since start of Israeli aggression in Gaza

AMMAN, Feb 7 — The government office in the Gaza Strip announced Tuesday that a total of 123 journalists have been killed since the beginning of Israel’s aggression in Gaza, Jordan news agency (Petra) reported.

The statement from the office was issued following the martyrdom of journalist Dr Rizq Al-Gharabli, director of the Palestinian Information Centre in the Gaza Strip.

As of now, at least 27,585 Palestinians have been killed following the Israeli offensive on Gaza since October 7.

The Israeli offensive has resulted in 85 per cent of Gaza’s population being internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. 

About 60 per cent of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the United Nations (UN).
