Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, has issued a statement on the killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza City.
“We send our condolences to [the] Al Jazeera family,” Dujarric said.
“We are looking into what happened in Gaza today.
“We have always been very clear in condemning all killings of journalists. In Gaza, and everywhere, media workers should be able to carry out their work freely and without harassment, intimidation or fear of being targeted. It is essential that journalists be allowed to freely access all areas of Gaza and to independently report on the situation there,” he added.
