On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss the heavy price journalists in Gaza are paying to report on Israel's military assault on Gaza and the deteriorating humanitarian crisis.
The Committee to Protect Journalists has called the assault on Gaza the 'most dangerous ever' for journalists. At least 77 journalists have been killed since October 7, according to their tally. Of those, 70 were Palestinian, four were Israeli, and three were Lebanese. New figures released by the Gaza's government media office says at least 100 Palestinian journalists have been killed.
Given that nowhere is safe and connections to the outside world are unpredictable, what is it like to be a reporter in Gaza today?
