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.
The news agency and its journalists' union report that their staff are fainting from hunger and exhaustion, making it nearly impossible to continue reporting on the conflict. France's foreign minister has called on Israel to allow international media access to Gaza and to permit the safe evacuation of journalists. The crisis highlights the broader humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where even aid workers and reporters are struggling to survive.
AFP stresses that never in its history have its journalists faced such dire conditions, and demands immediate action to prevent further loss of life.
