“CPJ is also investigating unconfirmed reports of additional journalists being killed, missing, detained, injured or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes,” the press freedom group highlighted.
CPJ said it compiled the information from its own sources in the region and from social media reports.
“Journalists across the region are making great sacrifices to cover this painful conflict,” said Sherif Mansour, CPJ Middle East and North Africa program coordinator.
“All parties must take measures to ensure their safety,” he warned.
The Committee to Protect Journalists is releasing the names and circumstances of the journalists’ deaths through their website.
