The first month of the Israel-Gaza war is now the deadliest month for journalists since CPJ began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992.
As of November 27, CPJ’s investigations showed at least 57 journalists and media workers were among more than 15,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with more than 14,000 deaths in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 in Israel. This deadly toll is coupled with harassment, detentions, and other reporting obstructions in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and beyond.
Israeli forces have told news agencies that they cannot guarantee safety of journalists working in Gaza, where a truce began on Friday. Gaza has also experienced multiple communications blackouts and journalists are reporting disruptions to phone and internet connections, particularly in the north.
CPJ is investigating all reports of journalists and media workers killed, injured, detained or missing in the war. The results of these investigations, which are based on testimonies of CPJ sources in the region and media reports, are published here. It is unclear whether all journalists were covering the conflict at the time of their deaths, but CPJ has included them in our count as we investigate their circumstances.
The list is being updated regularly.
