The Forum of Palestinian Journalists, in a statement, identified the victim as Alaa Asaad Hashim, stating that she lost her life early on Saturday after spending several months in a coma.
The NGO noted that Hashim’s death brings the total number of Palestinian journalists killed in the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip to 206 since October 2023.
It urged “enabling journalists to perform their professional duties in accordance with international laws and humanitarian conventions.”
Journalists working within the Palestinian territory encounter enormous risks while covering the genocidal war, particularly in light of Israeli ground assaults and airstrikes, as well as challenges such as disrupted communications, shortages of supplies, and power outages.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 48,524 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 111,955 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble.
