Agence France-Presse (AFP) has urgently called on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance journalists trapped in Gaza, warning that they are at risk of starving to death due to severe food shortages.
The agency reports that its staff, along with other humanitarian workers and medical personnel, are fainting from hunger and exhaustion while trying to document the ongoing conflict. France's foreign minister has also pressed Israel to grant international media access to Gaza, highlighting the critical need for independent reporting. Journalists in Gaza face not only the threat of violence but also public incitement and restrictions that hinder their ability to report.
The situation underscores the broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where even those tasked with bearing witness are now struggling to survive.
