This week in Gaza the few journalists who remain In the enclave they organized a rally in support condemn that Israel is “deliberately targeting” them. It was a modest, symbolic gathering of a handful of reporters from Gaza. Their motto is: “Information is important. The coverage must continue.”
“A Palestinian journalist films, photographs, documents and shows the world the injustice our people live under. We suffer from crime and war of destruction. This reality is embarrassing for the Israeli occupying forces. That’s why they want to silence us. “They attack us and kill us to intimidate us,” he says. be bornTV journalist talking with our correspondent in Gaza Rami Al Megari.

“I made the decision to evacuate today.”
Afraid of being killed several journalists decided to leave the Palestinian enclave. The last one to do this was Motaz Azaiza, who left the Gaza Strip on Tuesday morning with a large following on social media. He has over 18 million followers on Instagram. It was on this same network that he announced his retirement, primarily with a broad smile and a slight mockery of his tics during the conversation. “Well… That’s a word I’ve been using a lot in my videos for 107 days,” he joked.
Wearing a bulletproof vest with the “press” logo, he could not hide his excitement as he announced his departure. “This is the last time you will see me in this heavy, sticky vest. I decided to evacuate today. I’m sorry. But, God willing, I will soon return and help rebuild Gaza,” he admitted before taking off his press jacket surrounded by friends and family.
“I had to leave for many reasons that everyone knows and some don’t,” Motaz Azaiza wrote in the caption of his video, referring in particular to the danger currently looming over journalists in the Gaza Strip.
