ATHENS (AA) – Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) staged on Thursday protests in 10 countries across world to pay homage to journalists killed in Gaza.

The non-profit in a statement said the Israeli army, since last October, has killed over 130 journalists in the Palestinian enclave.

The protests were organized in Germany, Brazil, Spain, the US, UK, France, Senegal, Switzerland, Taiwan and Tunisia.

"With this global awareness campaign, RSF aims to alert the international public to the gravity of this crisis: the alarming rate at which these journalists are being killed is jeopardizing the right to free and independent information," the RSF said in a statement.

“The massacre of journalists in Gaza must stop. The Israeli military’s elimination of Gaza’s journalists, more than 130 in less than a year, threatens to impose a complete media blackout on the locked-down enclave,” said Thibaut Bruttin, general director of RSF.

“These attacks target not only the press in Palestine, but the right of the public everywhere to receive reliable information – free, independent and pluralistic – from one of the most watched conflict zones on the planet,” he added.

Israel has killed more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion. The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, where exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah continues.
