UNESCO reveals alarming increase in journalists killed in conflict zones

UNESCO figures show that at least 38 journalists and media workers were killed in the line of work in countries in conflict in 2023, compared to 28 in 2022 and 20 in 2021.

The last three months of this year in particular have already been the deadliest quarter for journalists in conflict zones since at least 2007, with the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East being responsible for a large majority of conflict-related killings.
