South African journalists observe vigil in memory of killed peers in Gaza

Many journalists in South Africa gathered together on Sunday night to remember and honor their colleagues who were killed in Gaza in the conflict with Israel.

At least 83 reporters and people who work in the media have been killed since the fighting started last October, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

Sunday was the day when it was said.

CPJ said that the Israel-Gaza war is the worst time for journalists since they started collecting information in 1992.

“We are also honoring our coworkers in Sudan, in the Democratic Republic of Congo and anyone who is being impacted. ” “But we’ve never seen such a high number of journalists being killed in Gaza before,” said Deshnee Subramany, who organized the vigil and spoke to the state broadcaster SABC.

South Africa strongly disagrees with Israel in the current Gaza war.
