YEAR END
81 Journalisten und Medienarbeitern wurden 2023 getötet
December 15, 2023 - Daten vom Committee to Protect Journalists zeigen, dass 81 Journalisten und Medienarbeiter 2023 getötet wurden, viel mehr als die 68 des letzten Jahres, wobei der Israel-Gaza Krieg für 63 Todesfälle verantwortlich ist.
The latest 2023 data from a leading organisation that promotes press freedom highlights the severe dangers facing journalists around the world, and in particular, from the hazards of the Israel-Gaza war.
As of December 14, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says 63 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war began on October 7 – a day when six journalists died.
So far this year, 81 journalists and media workers have been killed worldwide, with 65 unaccounted for and a further 363 imprisoned – last year 68 journalists were killed.
In fact, more journalists were killed in the first month of the Israel-Gaza war than in any other similar period of conflict since the CPJ began recording such deaths in 1992.
As of December 14, 2023, the Israel-Gaza war tally on journalists stands at:
DEAD: 56 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese
INJURED: 11
MISSING: 2
ARRESTED: 19
It is worth bearing in mind that the data shows only confirmed accounts and that the figures are likely to rise as the CPJ continues to investigate reports.
