More journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than in any other year since CPJ began collecting data more than three decades ago. At least 129 journalists and media workers were killed, two-thirds of them by Israel. Read CPJ’s #2025KilledReport: cpj.org/?p=553549


A ceasefire in name only. Another dark day with 30 people reportedly killed only today. Nearly 500 people have been killed since the ceasefire has been in place, among them more than 100 children according to @UNICEF. A ceasefire means guns fall silent & give way to efforts to end the war. Enough. People in Gaza deserve a genuine ceasefire - a much overdue ceasefire.
