Four Palestinian journalists have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

Four Palestinian journalists have been nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their fearless reporting on the Gaza war. Their media coverage made the world aware of the ongoing atrocities in Gaza.

They are photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, television reporter Hind Khodari, journalist and rights activist Bisan Auda and veteran reporter Wael Al-Dahdou.

These four journalists appeared in front of the audience with a message of peace against the ongoing conflicts around the world such as the Gaza and Ukraine wars. The Norwegian-based Nobel Committee has so far accepted 285 nominations for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. These include 196 individuals and 89 institutions.

Azaiza was known for portraying the daily life and beauty of Gaza before the war. But he gained prominence for documenting the wartime struggle of the Palestinians.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that at least 40,405 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's ongoing offensive in the besieged Gaza. Besides, 93 thousand 356 people were injured.

The Norwegian-based Nobel Committee has made 285 nominations for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. These include 196 individuals and 89 organizations, reflecting a wide range of peace advocates involved in global conflicts such as Gaza and Ukraine.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced on October 11. The awarding date will be fixed on December 10.
