Agence France-Presse (AFP) has issued urgent appeals to the Israeli government to allow its freelance journalists to evacuate Gaza, warning that its staff are facing starvation and dire conditions due to ongoing food shortages and the Israeli blockade.
The news agency reports that its remaining team in Gaza is struggling to report on the conflict as hunger and exhaustion take a severe toll, with some journalists fainting while working. French officials, including the foreign minister, have joined calls for Israel to grant international media access to Gaza and facilitate the safe exit of journalists. The crisis highlights the broader humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where not only civilians but also aid workers and reporters are at risk.
The situation has sparked international concern over press freedom, the safety of journalists, and the urgent need for humanitarian access.
