Germany calls for investigation into Gaza journalist killings

The German Foreign Office on Monday said it is "shocked" by Israel's killing of five journalists at Gaza's Nasser Hospital, and is calling for an investigation.

"Journalists and media workers play an essential role in putting the spotlight on the devastating reality of war. We have repeatedly called on the Israeli government to allow immediate independent foreign media access and afford protection for journalists operating in Gaza," the message on X said.

"We are shocked by the killing of several journalists, rescue workers, and other civilians in an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza. This attack must be investigated".
