The joint winner of the Marie Colvin Award 2024 has urged international journalists to keep pushing to get inside Gaza.

Yousef Hammash won the award, named in honour of the late Sunday Times correspondent, who died while reporting in Syria in 2012, alongside Feras Al Ajrami of BBC Eye Investigations who remains inside Gaza. The award recognises up and coming journalists of Colvin’s calibre.

Hammash’s work producing “searing eyewitness journalism” from Gaza also contributed to Channel 4 News being named News Provider of the Year at the British Journalism Awards on Thursday.
