GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The death toll of journalists killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7 has risen to 107, the Government Media Office (GMO) revealed on Friday.
The number of journalists killed during the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 107 after the killing of journalist Akram Al-Shafei, GMO affirmed.
Al-Shafei, 53, succumbed to the wounds that he sustained by Israeli gunfire when he tried to return to inspect his house northwest of Gaza City two months ago.
He remained in the Al-Shifa Hospital for more than two months, suffering from a serious injury to the abdomen, until he breathed his last earlier today.
His health situation seriously deteriorated after the Israeli forces broke into Al-Shifa Hospital in mid-November, as he was left without medical treatment for more than two weeks due to the arrest of medical staff.
He was later transferred to another hospital south of the Gaza Strip along with other injured people, but his health situation kept deteriorating till his death.
Safa media agency, where he was working, extended its sincere condolences to Al-Shafei’s family over his loss, vowing to complete exposing Israeli crimes.
