Journalists working for Agence France-Presse (AFP) and other outlets in Gaza are at risk of starving to death due to Israel's ongoing blockade and siege, according to urgent warnings from AFP's journalists' union.
The French government and the UN have called on Israel to allow international media access to Gaza, arguing that the ban on foreign press fuels disinformation and prevents the world from witnessing the humanitarian crisis. AFP reports that its remaining journalists in Gaza are struggling with extreme food shortages, exhaustion, and danger, making it nearly impossible to continue reporting. The situation has prompted calls for immediate intervention and evacuation of journalists at risk.
The crisis highlights the broader issue of press freedom and the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.
