Agence France-Presse (AFP) and other media organizations are urgently warning that their journalists in Gaza are at risk of starving to death due to extreme food shortages and deteriorating health conditions.
Freelance reporters, photographers, and video journalists are struggling with hunger, exhaustion, and lack of clean water while continuing to cover the ongoing conflict. AFP has called on the Israeli government to allow the immediate evacuation of its staff and their families from Gaza, as unions and press freedom advocates warn that without intervention, the last remaining reporters may die. The crisis has prompted international calls, including from France's foreign minister, for Israel to grant foreign press access to Gaza and ensure the safety of journalists.
The situation highlights the broader humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where not only civilians but also those documenting the crisis are now at risk.
