A plea from the family

Muhammad’s relatives, mourning his loss, have called for an immediate investigation into his killing, emphasizing that journalists should never be targets of war. "He was only doing his job—reporting the truth. Killing journalists means silencing Gaza." "Muhammad gave his life so the world could see our suffering. We ask the world to speak up for him now." "If journalists are killed, who will tell our stories? Who will show the world the massacres we endure every day?"
