"DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza killed five journalists Monday, according to health officials, including one who days earlier had reported for The Associated Press on children being treated for starvation at the same facility.
Mariam Dagga, 33, a visual journalist, freelanced for AP and other news outlets during the war. The news organization said in a statement that it was shocked and saddened to learn of Dagga’s death, as well as the deaths of other journalists.
“We are doing everything we can to keep our journalists in Gaza safe as they continue to provide crucial eyewitness reporting,” AP said."
