Media plea for journalists to be protected in conflict zones

The media fraternity gathered in Malaysia’s capital yesterday has pleaded for intervention from the international community, especially those vested with the authority and obligation to safeguard journalists working in conflict zones.

Al-Jazeera Malaysia bureau chief Sameer Allawi pointed out that over 200 journalists have lost their lives in Gaza, Palestine since October 2023, yet no measures have been taken against the perpetrators.
