Reporters Without Borders: 54 journalists killed in 2024, Gaza Strip most dangerous area
RSF – War journalism remains high-risk, with more than half of all journalists killed in conflict zones and an increase in imprisoned reporters worldwide
According to the annual report of Reporters Without Borders (Rsf), at least 54 journalists were killed while doing their work in 2024. A third of these lost their lives in the Gaza Strip, which remains the most dangerous region in the world for news professionals. Rsf points out that war journalism continues to be particularly risky, with 31 of the 54 journalists killed working in conflict zones, the highest number in five years.
Conflict in the Gaza Strip: tragedy for the media
Since the beginning of Hamas’ assault on Israel on 7 October 2024, more than 145 members of the media have died in the Gaza Strip. Of these, at least 35 were working at the time of the killing. Rsf also noted the deaths of two journalists in Israel and five in Lebanon since the beginning of the conflict. The organisation has asked the International Criminal Court to investigate the killing of the journalists to see if war crimes were involved.
Pakistan and Bangladesh: high risk regions for press freedom
Besides the crisis in the Middle East, Rsf highlighted other critical theatres for journalists in 2024. In Pakistan, seven journalists were killed, while in Bangladesh five reporters lost their lives during political protests. These numbers indicate that journalism is threatened not only in armed conflicts, but also in contexts of political instability.
An increase in arrests: 550 journalists detained in 2024
Repression against the press is not limited to physical violence. The Rsf report shows that 550 journalists are currently imprisoned worldwide, an increase of 7% compared to 2023. This figure underlines how authoritarian regimes and crisis situations put press freedom at risk, with an increasing number of reporters arrested for doing their work.
