Five journalists were killed on Monday in two Israeli strikes targeting Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip, prompting Canadian photographer Valerie Zink, who worked for Reuters, to resign and destroy her press card. She cited the agency’s role in “justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza.” In a Facebook post, she expressed deep shame and sadness at continuing to hold her press card. She criticized Western media for repeating Israeli allegations of genocide without verifying their credibility, abandoning journalism’s core responsibility, which has allowed more journalists to be killed in two years on a small strip of land than in World Wars I and II and the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and Ukraine combined, in addition to starving an entire population, mutilating its children, and burning people alive.

Among the five journalists killed were those working for Al Jazeera, Reuters, and the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed regret over the “tragic incident.”
