Israel's war hits Gaza media industry : Reporters face risk of attacks and lack of supplies

Restrictions on supplies entering Gaza have left media equipment shelves largely empty and driven up the cost of remaining cameras. Journalists operating in the region face significant danger and equipment damage due to these shortages and difficult working conditions.

Maintenance workshops attempt to repair damaged gear by salvaging parts, but missing components often make repairs impossible. With professional equipment becoming unaffordable, reporters have adapted by using smartphones to continue their coverage.
