GAZA STRIP: Over 260 media workers lost their lives in the recent fighting in Gaza, marking the deadliest conflict for journalists in many years. This issue received attention at the UN Headquarters during a forum that discussed the risks and challenges of reporting from the Occupied Palestinian Territory. “This seminar encourages us to think about how journalism in Israel and Palestine, especially in Gaza and the West Bank, has turned into both a battlefield and a vital resource.”
- Lord, we lift up every journalist and media worker reporting from Gaza, the West Bank, and all conflict zones. Surround them with Your divine protection as they risk their lives to bring truth to the world. Shield them from violence, give them wisdom in dangerous moments, and preserve their lives as they serve humanity (The Holy Bible, Luke 8:17).
- Father, we pray for comfort for the families of the more than 260 media workers who have lost their lives. Bring healing to grieving communities and justice where injustice has prevailed. We ask for peace in the region and that truth, compassion, and reconciliation will arise even in the midst of conflict (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 12:17).
