Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Report: Israel Targeted at Least 18 Journalists in Gaza with “Precision Strikes”

HeadlineJun 26, 2024

Members of the medical aid charity Doctors Without Borders have strongly condemned the killing of their colleague Fadi Al-Wadiya, a 33-year-old physiotherapist. Al-Wadiya was killed along with five other people, including three children, as he was riding his bicycle to work. His killing came as the United Nations warned it will be forced to suspend aid operations across Gaza unless urgent steps are taken to protect humanitarian workers.

Meanwhile, a major new investigation carried out by dozens of journalists with the nonprofit Forbidden Stories has revealed at least 18 media workers were likely killed or wounded by precision strikes launched from Israeli drones in violation of the laws of war. At least four were wearing press vests at the time and were identifiable as journalists. The Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 108 media workers are among the more than 37,600 Palestinians killed by Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, making it the deadliest conflict for journalists that CPJ has ever recorded.
