The news agency, along with France's foreign minister, is calling on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance contributors and to grant international media access to the besieged territory. Journalists report being unable to continue their work as they and other humanitarian workers suffer from exhaustion and lack of food and clean water. The situation has sparked international concern over press freedom and the safety of those documenting the conflict.
AFP's union has stated that never in the agency's history have its reporters faced such dire conditions.
