Agence France-Presse (AFP) has urgently called on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance journalists from Gaza, warning that they are facing starvation and life-threatening conditions due to severe food shortages.
The journalists, who remain among the last international media voices in the besieged enclave, report being unable to work effectively as hunger and exhaustion take their toll. France's foreign minister and press freedom advocates are pressuring Israel to grant access and safe passage for journalists and humanitarian workers. The crisis highlights the broader humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where aid is blocked and even those documenting the conflict are at risk of dying from hunger.
The situation has sparked international alarm over press freedom and the safety of those reporting from conflict zones.
