Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

AP Journalist Simone Camilli Killed in Gaza

HeadlineAug 15, 2014

Amidst the ceasefire, five people were killed and several more wounded on Wednesday as Gaza’s bomb disposal team dismantled an Israeli missile. The victims included two journalists with the Associated Press: Italian journalist Simone Camilli, who was killed, and Hatem Moussa, a Palestinian photographer from Gaza, who was seriously injured. AP president and CEO Gary Pruitt paid tribute to Camilli.

Gary Pruitt: “Simone was the first foreign journalist killed covering the Gaza war. He had worked with AP since 2005, when he was hired in Rome. He’s well known and highly regarded throughout AP and highly regarded throughout the entire European media. He brought a unique ability to personalize his stories and portray the human drama in them, with an incredible eye for detail.”
