NUJ members hold vigils and protests for colleagues killed in Gaza Following the killing of five Al Jazeera staff and a freelance photojournalist by Israeli forces on Sunday, NUJ members across the UK and Ireland are holding vigils and protests in solidarity with colleagues killed. According to the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) at least 195 journalists and media workers - including 181 Palestinians - have been killed since 7 October 2023, making this the deadliest war for our profession in recent history. The NUJ has deplored the killings and supported calls for an investigation into the actions of the Israel government. The union is also encouraging chapels and branches to hold solidarity vigils at branches and workplaces over the coming days to protest against the killing of colleagues in Gaza. We have also produced graphics that can be downloaded from the website. Members can also sign an open letter to the UK government and donate to the IFJ Safety Fund, which offers practical help and solidarity. Dublin On Monday 11 August more than 250 people gathered in the centre of Dublin for a protest vigil organised by NUJ members in solidarity with Al Jazeera journalists killed in a targeted attack sanctioned by the Israeli government. Emma O'Kelly, Dublin Broadcasting branch chair, told the vigil there was no justification for the actions of Israel and no evidence to support the claims that any of the journalists were agents of Hamas. Dominica Fratelier, President of the Federation of Journalists, on the killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza. When will the genocide end?
