As a ceasefire in Gaza took hold in January, Anas Al-Sharif began removing his protective gear live on television, piece by piece, while a jubilant crowd cheered, hoping the day marked the end of the suffering of 2 million Palestinians in the enclave.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says 184 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war.

Roughly 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive nearly two years ago, press freedom groups say.
