The Palestinian Journalists’ Protection Center (PJPC) strongly condemned the airstrike as a violation of international law and a crime against journalists.

However, the devastating loss of Tamer, his young daughter, and several other family members has sparked widespread condemnation from international organizations, human rights groups, and journalist associations. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and other entities have strongly criticized the killing of journalists like Tamer Miqdad, calling for accountability and an independent investigation into the deaths of journalists in Gaza.

Pleas of surviving relatives: There have been no direct public pleas from Islam Maqdad’s surviving family members after her death in the Israeli airstrike on April 6, 2025, which claimed her life, along with that of her young son and five other family members. However, the tragic nature of her death, especially as a journalist and mother, has sparked widespread international outrage and condemnation. Key Details: Islam’s daughter, Zina, was receiving medical treatment in Tunisia at the time of her mother’s death. Islam had expressed in a heartfelt post her deep longing to reunite with Zina, who had suffered a head injury from a prior Israeli attack. Tragically, Islam never had the chance to be reunited with her daughter before her own life was taken. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and other international human rights organizations have strongly condemned the attack, calling for accountability and an independent investigation into the killing of journalists like Islam Maqdad. While surviving family members have not made any public pleas yet, the attack on Islam and her family has galvanized calls for stronger protection of journalists working in conflict zones and a halt to attacks on civilians.

Pleas of surviving relatives: As of now, there have been no direct public statements or pleas from Fatma Hassona’s surviving relatives. Reports indicate that her parents survived the airstrike that killed Fatma and ten other family members, including her pregnant sister, but they are in critical condition and receiving treatment in intensive care. While her family has not spoken publicly, Fatma herself left behind powerful words that reflect her hopes and fears. In a message shared before her death, she wrote: “If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group. I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.” These words have come to represent not only her personal legacy but also the broader plea for justice, remembrance, and dignity from countless civilians caught in conflict. Fatma’s story continues to resonate through the voices of those honoring her memory and through the documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk.
