On the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian Journalist, on September 26th of each year, AGPS stated that, "The group’s monitoring and documentation team, recorded the names of 17 Palestinian journalists of various academic or volunteering competencies and who have sometimes become part of developmental-relief-media work. They died in various Syrian regions during their media coverage of the ongoing events since March 2011.” AGPS confirmed that in reality, the number is much bigger than this, under the circumstances of arrest, declaration of death or difficulty in accessing official records. In addition, the consequent responsibilities on the families of the victims, most of whom died as a result of the disappearance, torture, bombardments or in clashes.
