Humanitarian and sectoral impact of Israel-Gaza conflict

Overview

The conflict in Gaza and the West Bank has resulted in heavy casualties across the media, education, and sports sectors. As the situation enters its third year, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has warned of a campaign in the West Bank and Jerusalem to suppress reporting on Israeli forces and settlers, noting that patterns seen in Gaza—such as physical assaults and arbitrary judicial decisions—are being extended to the West Bank. In Gaza, the media sector has faced massive destruction, with over 80 percent of media institutions partially or fully destroyed and an estimated $1 billion in losses. The International Federation of Journalists stated that the number of journalists killed in Gaza is the highest in the modern history of journalism. Reports indicate 263 media workers have been killed, approximately 500 injured, and over 240 arrested. The education sector has seen significant loss of life, with the Palestinian Ministry of Education reporting 20,748 students and 1,058 education and administrative workers killed across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In Gaza, this includes 19,189 school students and 1,386 university students, while the West Bank has seen 134 school students and 39 university students killed. The Palestinian sports community has also suffered heavily. The Palestinian Football Association reported approximately 1,007 deaths since October 7, 2023, including 565 individuals associated with the Football Association, 317 from Olympic associations, and 125 members of the Palestinian Scout and Guide Association. The report highlights a total collapse of sports infrastructure in the region. Recent developments highlight ongoing risks to media professionals. One year after an Israeli military strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, no accountability has been established for the deaths of 22 Palestinians, including five journalists.
