Dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday, demanding accountability for Israel’s deadly attacks on journalists in Gaza. The protests come after Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and five other reporters were killed in recent strikes, sparking global outrage over press freedom. 🎤💔
Witnesses claim the journalists were sheltering near Gaza’s largest hospital complex when targeted by Israeli forces. Israel’s military has repeatedly accused some media workers of being "Hamas militants posing as reporters"—a claim press advocacy groups call "dangerously vague" and lacking evidence. 📸🚨
Protesters held signs reading "Truth Can’t Be Bombed" and called for international intervention. "When journalists die, the world goes dark," said one organizer, echoing concerns over over 100 media workers killed in Gaza since October. 🌍⚡
As tensions rise, the UN faces mounting pressure to address what critics label a "systematic silencing of Gaza’s storytellers." Meanwhile, debates rage online: Can wartime reporting ever be safe? 🔥💬
