Agence France-Presse (AFP) has issued an urgent appeal to the Israeli government to allow the evacuation of its freelance journalists and their families from Gaza, citing extreme hunger and deteriorating conditions.
Journalists, along with aid workers and medical staff, are reportedly fainting from starvation as food and clean water run out in the besieged enclave. The AFP journalists' union warns that without immediate intervention, their last reporters in Gaza may die, marking an unprecedented crisis for the agency. France's foreign minister and international media organizations are also calling for press access and protection for journalists in Gaza.
The situation highlights the broader humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, where civilians and those documenting the conflict are at grave risk.
