Agence France-Presse (AFP) has urgently called on Israel to allow the evacuation of its freelance journalists from Gaza, warning that its staff are facing severe hunger and risk of starvation due to the ongoing blockade.
The news agency reports that its remaining contributors in Gaza are struggling to report on the conflict as chronic food shortages and lack of clean water have left them exhausted and ill. French officials and press freedom advocates are pressuring Israel to grant foreign media access to Gaza and to ensure the safety of journalists. The situation highlights the broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where even those documenting the war are now among its victims.
AFP's journalists' union has issued an emotional plea, stating they refuse to see their colleagues die from starvation.
