Claims of targeting will need to be verified, if necessary, by ICC investigators, but under these conditions it remains very difficult for journalists to do their work in Gaza.
This is what Loukai Elghoul, representative of Gaza journalists for the Palestinian Journalists Union, explains. He came to Belgium at the start of the war for a conference, but he can no longer enter the enclave. “The situation is very difficulthe said,It is difficult for Palestinians in general, but it is even more difficult for journalists. The journalist must cover, must concentrate, must relate the reality he sees to the world so that it becomes aware of the massacres and actions once morest our people. And at the same time, he has to think regarding his family. He is in danger, but so is his family. QWhen he realizes that there is a bombing, and he goes there, he sometimes goes to see members of his own family who have died…”
Loukai’s family had to leave the west of Gaza City for the south of the territory. Today, his two daughters, his two sons, his wife and his mother are under bombardment in Deir el Balah.
“There is no safe place, there is no water, no food, no electricity, no internet… And most of the time no communications for me to reach them! For a week, I have been trying to contact friends to try to find them flour for example, so that they can continue to live“.
Journalists in the enclave, like every Gazan today, are trying to save their skin and that of their loved ones. Their information work is all the more difficult.
Meanwhile, foreign journalists cannot go there freely to cover and report on the conflict unless they are embarked alongside Israeli army units.
