Palestinian photojournalist recognised posthumously for Gaza reporting
Palestinian visual journalist Mariam Abu Dagga was posthumously named a 2026 George Polk Award winner for photojournalism, recognising her powerful documentation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Announced on February 19, 2026, the award honours Dagga’s work in capturing the suffering of civilians amid severe food and medical care shortages. A freelance photographer who contributed to international outlets, Dagga was killed on August 25, 2025, while reporting at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Media rights groups said the recognition honours her courage and dedication while underscoring the extreme risks faced by journalists covering armed conflicts and the urgent need to protect independent reporting.
