More reporters are said to have been killed in this conflict than any in decades. Jonathan Dagher, from Reporters Without Borders, discusses what it means for public understanding of the region

Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza an unprecedented number of journalists have been killed. According to press freedom campaigners, the last month has been the most deadly for almost three decades. Israeli and Lebanese reporters have been killed but the majority of those who have died have been inside the Gaza Strip.

Jonathan Dagher, from Reporters Without Borders, says many journalists have been killed in their homes like other civilians. With a rising death toll caused by the Israeli bombardment, journalists, like others who live in the Gaza Strip, have been trapped and unable to leave. Yet alongside these tragic deaths are those who have been killed while working. Is enough being done to protect the freedom of the press to report?
