This article, published on International Women's Day, commemorates women journalists in Gaza who have risked their lives to report on the ongoing conflict. Since 2024, the Israeli occupation has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls. Among the 270 journalists and media workers killed, over 20 were women, including Mariam Abu Daqqa, who was killed in Khan Younis in August 2025, and Fatima Hassouna, who was killed four months prior. These journalists documented the suffering of Palestinians and reported on the realities of the war. They are being honored for their courage in bearing witness and documenting atrocities despite the heavy price they paid.
