Journalists are being killed in record numbers at a time when access to information is more important than ever. We are all at risk when journalists are killed for reporting the news. Most journalist deaths in conflict settings occurred amid conflicts, with two-thirds blamed on Israeli forces, who killed 86 members of the press, more than 60% of whom were Palestinians reporting from Gaza.

Four journalists, including Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama, are among 19 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, according to the enclave's Ministry of Health. The ministry said on Monday that the victims were killed on the fourth floor of the hospital in a double-tap strike one missile hitting first, then another moments later as rescue crews arrived.

Israeli forces killed at least 95 people in Gaza on Monday with air raids that left 39 dead at a seaside cafe and gunfire that killed Palestinians trying to get desperately needed food aid.
