As we have all too often had cause to note in recent months, the British media’s coverage of the deaths of Palestinians has repeatedly failed to adequately distinguish between civilian casualties and members of terrorist organisations or people – mostly male – involved in acts of violence at the time.

This resource will be updated periodically to include the latest verified information.

PFLP – Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
