Urgent Gaza Appeal

Journalists were among the key players in the dramatic events of May 31st when Israeli soldiers intercepted a flotilla of ships bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Nine people died in the assault on these ships including one journalist.

 

Up to 100 reporters and camera staff were among the passengers covering the event and most of them were detained by Israeli officials when the ships docked. Many of them had their equipment confiscated.

The IFJ, with the help of its Israeli affiliate the National Federation of Israeli Journalists (NFIJ), is providing help to journalists to try to recover their lost materials and equipment.

We are also gathering information from journalists on the convoy of ships to give us information about their experience. The forms attached can be used by those who wish to recover lost material or who wish to give further information.

 

Please complete the two forms and send them to[email protected]  OR BY FAX AT +32 2 235 22 19 

 

For information on individual cases, please contact the National Federation of Israeli Journalists-NFIJ (Danny Zaken)  at +972-52-2631530 (cell) or  [email protected])
