Al Jazeera Journalists Honored with Terzani Prize for Gaza Coverage

Al Jazeera journalists Wael al-Dahdouh and Safwat al-Kahlout were jointly awarded the prestigious Terzani Prize in recognition of their extraordinary sacrifices and courageous reporting as Palestinian journalists covering Gaza.

Presented during the “vicino/lontano” festival in Udine, Italy, the prize celebrates media professionals who exemplify fearless storytelling and humanitarian commitment. By honoring al-Dahdouh and al-Kahlout, the award spotlighted the personal risks and challenges journalists in Gaza face daily—capturing their dedication to delivering critical news under harrowing conditions.

For many observers, the recognition of these two journalists is more than symbolic—it acknowledges how reporting amid conflict zones demands not only journalistic rigor but also profound courage. Their inclusion in this global tribute underscores public awareness and support for frontline journalists who risk everything to ensure the world does not look away from human suffering.

This milestone reflects Al Jazeera’s broader mission: to amplify stories that may otherwise be silenced, even amidst extreme adversity. Through this award, al-Dahdouh and al-Kahlout emerge as powerful narratives of resilience and commitment to ethical reporting, embodying journalism’s potential to bear witness and uphold truth in the most challenging circumstances.
