Palestinian Journalist Wins 2026 Shireen Abu Akleh Prize

Palestinian journalist Zareefa Abou Qoura has received the 2026 Shireen Abu Akleh Prize for her reporting from Gaza and coverage of the humanitarian impact of the war in Palestine. Presented in Brussels by the International Federation of Journalists and the International Francophone Press Union, the award recognises women journalists working under dangerous conditions. Abou Qoura was honoured for documenting civilian suffering, attacks on medical facilities, and broader humanitarian challenges during the conflict. The prize commemorates veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, whose killing in 2022 became a global symbol of the risks faced by journalists covering war and political violence.
