The International News Safety Institute (INSI) is deeply saddened by the death of our long-time colleague and friend, Nick Mosdell.
The five Gazan journalists killed by Israel in targeted drone strikes on Al Nasser hospital on 25 August died doing an almost unimaginable job: bearing witness to the death, destruction and starvation inflicted daily on their own families, friends, neighbours – and themselves.
The International News Safety Institute (INSI) is appalled by the killing of five Al-Jazeera journalists and one freelancer in an Israeli airstrike on their tent near Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif.
Local journalists in Gaza have been essential to informing the world about the war. With international reporters banned from entering by Israel, these journalists have shouldered the responsibility of bearing witness - always at enormous personal risk.
The media industry is grappling with an unrelenting wave of online harassment targeting journalists—from state actors and organised crime networks to bots and members of the public emboldened by anonymity. Hate speech, disinformation, and threats of physical violence are a daily reality for many colleagues. Some are forced out of the profession; others endure long-term psychological harm—all at a time when independent, in-depth reporting is needed more than ever.
