The Executive Board of the Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA) issued a declaration known as the Istanbula declaration on Monday, October 23, in which it points to the situation in the Gaza Strip, voicing concern about he safety of journalists in the besieged enclave amid the Zionist Israeli regime’s onslaught.
“Qana is deeply concerned about the situation in Gaza,” the declaration read.
It calls for the protection of journalists in that region and urges all institutions and organizations to take the highest measures to ensure the safety of journalists.
At least 18 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, when the Zionist Israeli regime began its aerial camping against the defenseless Strip in retaliation for the successful Hamas-launched operation called Al-Aqsa Storm.
