Anas Ghunaim

Anas Ghunaim was a Palestinian journalist working in Gaza. He, along with Abdul Ra’ouf Shaat and Mohammed Salah Qeshta, were killed on January 21, 2026, in an Israeli airstrike in the al-Zahra area of central Gaza. The journalists were reportedly working for an Egyptian aid group, documenting a newly established camp at the time of the attack. Their vehicle was directly hit. Ghunaim's death, along with his colleagues, is newsworthy as it highlights the dangers faced by journalists operating in conflict zones. The incident is part of a broader series of Israeli attacks on Gaza that resulted in the deaths of at least 11 Palestinians, including two children. The deaths of these journalists raise concerns about press freedom and the protection of civilians during armed conflicts.
