JAKARTA - Coverage of a prolonged genocide like in the Gaza area will certainly have a huge impact on the physical and psychological aspects of journalists. However, even journalists who like challenges must remain alert without getting tired. Because dangerous situations with the threat of death can come at any time.
We are talking about 182 journalists who have been killed so far in this genocide. Some of them were killed with their entire families.
As an illustration, there is the direct physical threat of active warfare - airstrikes, repeated ground attacks in various areas of the Gaza Strip, and intense bombing campaigns, as well as forced internal displacement.
Civilian areas and infrastructure are often targeted and affected by military airstrikes, making it very difficult for journalists to report safely.
There is often little warning of an impending attack.
Journalists are also not given safe corridors to cover and they are often abandoned in targeted areas and there are no clearly designated areas that are safe for journalists to cover.
All of this together has increased the suffering of journalists throughout the Gaza Strip.
