Agence France-Presse (AFP) has urgently called on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance journalists trapped in Gaza, warning that they are facing starvation and severe deprivation.
The journalists, who remain among the last international media voices in the besieged enclave, report being unable to work due to chronic hunger, exhaustion, and lack of clean water. 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.
AFP's union has issued an emotional plea, stating they refuse to see their colleagues die simply for bearing witness.
