UN chief calls for independent probe into killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

UNITED NATIONS — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns the killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza in an Israeli airstrike, his spokesperson says.

“The secretary-general calls for an independent and impartial investigation into these latest killings,” said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric. “At least 242 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the war began. Journalists and media workers must be respected, they must be protected, and they must be allowed to carry out their work freely, free from fear and free from harassment.”
