The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said Gaza has become "the most dangerous place in the world for journalists," citing the killing of hundreds of media workers during the ongoing war in Gaza.

In a statement posted Sunday on the X platform, the UN called on countries worldwide to move "beyond words of condemnation and solidarity" and take concrete steps to ensure accountability, protect journalists and allow independent international media access.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said the war in Gaza has turned into "a deadly trap for the media," noting that his office has verified the killing of nearly 300 journalists and the injury of many others since October 2023.
