UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has added his voice to international condemnations of Israel’s killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza.

“The secretary-general calls for an independent and impartial investigation into these latest killings,” said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

“At least 242 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the war began. Journalists and media workers must be respected, they must be protected, and they must be allowed to carry out their work freely, free from fear and free from harassment.”
