OBCT joins the campaign against the killing of journalists in Gaza
On September 1, OBCT also joined the campaign launched by Reporters Without Borders and Avaaz, which condemns the killings of journalists in Gaza, calls for protection for Palestinian journalists, and demands access for international journalists. The world needs witnesses to the crimes against humanity that the Israeli government is committing in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territory

According to RSF data, 220 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip in less than 23 months. On the night of 10 August alone, the Israeli army killed six journalists in a targeted strike against Al-Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif. Less than a week ago, on Monday, 25 August, the Israeli army killed five journalists in two consecutive strikes.
Today, hundreds of media outlets in over 50 countries are mobilising in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, alongside RSF and Avaaz. This international operation consists of an entire or partial blackout of the front pages of print media, banners on online news sites, and audio or video messages broadcast by radio and television stations.
