Attacks on journalists, aid workers in Gaza ‘completely unacceptable’: RSF

Head of the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Middle East desk Jonathan Dagher said reports of journalists being attacked, injured, and killed in Gaza in Israeli attacks have become “so commonplace”.

“We’ve had to report them almost daily for the past six months,” Dagher told Al Jazeera.

“This is just the latest attack, it’s terrible […] it’s unacceptable,” he said, referring to a strike that hit a vehicle carrying three journalists in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Dagher described the attack as “unprovoked”, and said there is enough evidence to prove that the vehicle was targeted.

More than 100 journalists have been killed by Israel in Gaza over the past six months, he said.

This “massacre has to stop”, he added, calling on the international community to “step up the pressure” on Israel.

“We are calling for an end to this impunity,” he said.

“Any attack on civilians, or aid workers, or humanitarian workers, is [also] completely unacceptable,” he said.
