Dutch Newspaper Wins European Press Prize for Investigation Into 114 Palestinian Children Shot
June 28, 2026
THEY TRIED TO HIDE THE STORY. JOURNALISTS MADE SURE THE WORLD SAW IT.
A Dutch newspaper has won the European Press Prize for its groundbreaking investigation documenting 114 Palestinian children who were shot in the head and chest by Israeli forces, bringing international recognition to reporting that exposed the devastating human cost of Israel’s actions.
Behind every number was a child. A name. A family. A future that was forever changed.
The investigation painstakingly documented cases that many believe would have otherwise been ignored, forgotten or buried beneath the daily cycle of war and destruction.
At a time when journalists covering Palestine face censorship, intimidation, attacks and even death, the award is being seen by many as a victory not only for investigative journalism, but for the Palestinian children whose stories deserved to be told.
114 children.
114 stories.
114 reasons why accountability can no longer be ignored.
