Agence France-Presse (AFP) has issued urgent warnings that its journalists in Gaza are facing severe hunger and risk of starvation due to Israel's ongoing blockade, which has drastically limited food and humanitarian aid.
The news agency is calling on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance contributors from Gaza, as well as demanding broader media access to the besieged territory. French officials have echoed these calls, urging Israel to permit international journalists to enter Gaza and report on the dire humanitarian situation. Journalists, along with aid workers and medical staff, are reportedly collapsing from exhaustion and hunger while trying to document and alleviate the crisis.
The situation has raised serious concerns about press freedom, the safety of media workers, and the ability to report independently from conflict zones.
