Agence France-Presse (AFP) and French officials have issued urgent appeals for Israel to allow journalists to evacuate from Gaza and to permit international media access to the besieged territory.
AFP warns that its remaining journalists in Gaza are facing extreme food shortages and risk dying of starvation due to Israel's ongoing blockade and military operations. The French Foreign Minister has condemned Israel's restrictions, calling for immediate intervention and an end to the media ban so the world can witness the humanitarian crisis. The UN and journalist associations echo these calls, emphasizing that the lack of press access prevents independent reporting on the worsening famine and humanitarian catastrophe.
The situation is unprecedented in AFP's history, with fears that without urgent action, the last reporters in Gaza may not survive.
