They have been nominated "for giving the world an insight into the atrocities in Gaza" and "for their courage and determined reporting of Israel's war on Gaza."

Despite losing family members and friends, these journalists have remained committed to their mission. They have been acknowledged for their unwavering commitment to covering the ongoing conflict, playing critical roles in bringing global attention to the dire conditions faced by the Palestinian people.
