A deadly double-tap airstrike struck the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing at least 22 people, including Middle East Eye and Quds News Network correspondent Ahmed Abu Aziz. The hospital attack—widely condemned for targeting press and medical personnel during rescue operations—intensified global scrutiny on the rising toll of journalists killed in Gaza.
Ahmed Abu Aziz, age 29, was among five journalists killed as they covered the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the hospital. According to profiles published by The Guardian, he was recognized for his perseverance amid danger and his pursuit of academic aspirations, together with his wife. The double strike, occurring minutes apart, first devastated the hospital’s infrastructure and then targeted those rushing to aid—paramedics, journalists, and civilians alike.
This incident further illustrates the alarming reality that reporting on the conflict in Gaza has become one of the deadliest professions in recent memory. Journalists are being killed while doing their jobs, often identifiable with press credentials, as they document human suffering.
Ahmed Abu Aziz’s tragic death underscores the extreme risks faced by local journalists operating under siege, hunger, power outages, and bombardment. His unwavering commitment to delivering truth in the face of such adversities reflects a profound act of courage and conscience. His death amplifies urgent calls from media and human rights organizations worldwide for measures to protect journalists and enforce accountability.
