Tragic Loss: Five Palestinian Journalists Killed in Israeli Airstrike

In a devastating incident, five Palestinian journalists lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry. The strike targeted a vehicle outside the Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp, where the journalists were working for the local Quds News Network.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Gaza's Health Ministry reporting over 45,000 Palestinians killed, more than half of them women and children.

The international community continues to call for a ceasefire and protection of civilians, including journalists, who play a crucial role in documenting the realities of war.
