Agence France-Presse (AFP) has issued urgent appeals for the evacuation of its freelance journalists trapped in Gaza, warning that they are at risk of starvation due to severe food shortages and ongoing conflict.
The journalists, along with other humanitarian workers, are struggling to report on the war while suffering from hunger, exhaustion, and lack of clean water. AFP and French officials have called on Israel to allow both the evacuation of media workers and greater access for international journalists to bear witness to the crisis. The situation has become so dire that some reporters are fainting from hunger, and AFP's journalists' union has stated they refuse to see their colleagues die.
The crisis highlights the dangers faced by those documenting the conflict and the urgent need for humanitarian access.
