The Kirib condemns killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

The Kirib expresses deep sorrow and concern over the killing of four Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif. They died when a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City was struck by an airstrike.

Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohammed Noufal were all respected reporters who risked their lives to report from Gaza during the ongoing conflict. Their deaths are part of a tragic toll of over 200 journalists killed since the war began.

Journalists must be able to work without fear of being targeted or killed. All parties involved in conflicts must follow international laws to protect reporters and allow them to safely carry out their work.

The Kirib stands in solidarity with journalists everywhere who risk their lives to bring the truth to the public. We call for a full and transparent investigation into the deaths of these journalists and urge all sides to respect press freedom and ensure the safety of media workers.

The Kirib remains committed to defending press freedom and protecting journalists worldwide.
