CPJ releases report, saying: This is the deadliest month for journalists
- At least 48 journalists were killed as a result of the aggression launched on Gaza.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said that it is investigating all reports of journalists and media workers killed, injured, or missing in the war on Gaza, which has led to the deadliest month for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.
The CPJ said that at least 50 journalists and media workers were among more than 14,000 killed.
The Committee to Protect Journalists says this deadly trend far outweighs the 30 journalists killed at the height of the Syrian civil war, previously considered the deadliest war zone for journalists in recent times.
In the same context, the UN mourned the deaths of more than 100 aid workers in Gaza; the highest number killed in any conflict in its history.

Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid stated that the committee members highlighted the vital role Russia plays in regional and international issues as a permanent member of the Security Council. They also expressed hope for a robust Russian role in stopping Israeli attacks on the residents of Gaza.
Shoukry highlighted Egypt's clear rejection of any attempts to displace Palestinians, condemning the ongoing bombardment aimed at forcing Gaza's residents to leave. He announced that Egypt is set to present a new resolution to the Security Council on behalf of the Arab and Islamic countries, addressing the current imbalance in the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
