Major news outlets, including BBC News and AFP, are expressing deep concern about the worsening conditions for journalists in Gaza who are facing starvation. With international journalists unable to enter Gaza, local journalists are left reporting under dire circumstances. They are experiencing significant hardships similar to those they cover. News agencies have long sought permission from Israeli authorities for the unrestricted movement of journalists. The situation has become urgent as some journalists face severe food shortages and health risks.
With international reporters barred by Israel from entering the strip, Palestinian journalists have been the only ones able to report from the ground in the war zone.
These independent journalists have been the world's eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering.
We urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.
AFP asked Israel to allow the immediate evacuation of its freelance contributors and their families from the strip, warning of starvation among those trying to cover the conflict.
