NUJ assistant general secretary Seamus Dooley said journalists were being killed because they were recording what was happening in Gaza. "We gather in anger, we gather in sorrow. "But above all else we gather in solidarity, solidarity with those who have been murdered because they were journalists." He added: "That record of the Israeli government is an indictment, and we will never forget that. "We demand an end to be killing. We demand a ceasefire."
Four journalists, including Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama, are among 19 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, according to the enclave's Ministry of Health. The ministry said on Monday that the victims were killed on the fourth floor of the hospital in a double-tap strike one missile hitting first, then another moments later as rescue crews arrived.
