Q: How are journalists in Gaza silenced?

“In Gaza, we have to fight for press freedom every day under fire. It is not a guaranteed right. The Israeli government not only isolates us but deliberately targets us and our families. The Israeli army has bombed our offices, our makeshift media tents and our cars. They kept taking it further. The internet and means of communication are cut off, and even access to food and water is blocked. This is how they try to suppress us. It is a comprehensive war to erase the truth.
