The Paris -based news agency said that independent contributors faced with a “appalling” situation in the enclave ravaged by the war.
The French press agency Agency France-Presse has urged Israel to facilitate the immediate evacuation of its independent journalists from Gaza, warning that they are confronted with a “appalling” and “untenable” situation in the enclave ravaged by the war.
AFP, one of the greatest news in the world, called on Tuesday after an association of its journalists warned that their colleagues in Gaza faced famine.
“For months, we have looked helpless that their living conditions will deteriorate considerably,” said the agency based in Paris in a press release.
“Their situation is now untenable, despite their exemplary courage, their professional commitment and their resilience.”
While the Palestinian Palestinians have been “crucial” to inform the world since Israel has prohibited foreign journalists from Gaza, AFP said, Israeli authorities should allow them, as well as their family, to immediately evacuate as their “lives are in danger”.
The Society of Journalists, an AFP journalists’ association, independent of management on Monday, warned that their colleagues in the enclave were likely to die of hunger.
“We fear learning their death at any time, and it’s unbearable for us,” the association said in a press release.
“In addition to a few others, they are now the only ones to point out what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international media have been prohibited from entering this territory for almost two years. We refuse to watch them die.”
The association underlined the cases of several journalists, including a 30 -year -old photographer, identified as Bashar, who recently posted on social networks that his “body is thin” and that he had lost the strength to work.
“Since the AFP Foundation in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have injured and imprisoned colleagues among us, but none of us have never seen a colleague starving,” said the association.
On Wednesday, Tel Aviv Tribune Media Network published a statement calling for an “immediate action” by international organizations to end a crisis that has not spared “journalists who are the bearers of the truth”.
“We owe it to the courageous journalists of Gaza to amplify their voices and put an end to the unbearable sufferings they endure due to forced famine and the murders targeted by the Israeli occupation forces,” said press release Mostefa Souag, managing director of Tel Aviv Tribune Media Network, in the press release.
British charity Oxfam also warned Tuesday that its staff in Gaza was one of those who are faced with famine.
“In Oxfam, we are not only assisted by this crisis, we live it,” said occupied Palestinian territory and Gaza.
“My colleague, she told me on Saturday that she went to work without even water, with a single falafel just to continue, and she has always presented herself at work,” said Khalidi.
Warnings came while Gaza health officials reported on Tuesday that at least 15 Palestinians, including four children, had hungry to death in the previous 24 hours, bearing the total number of malnutrition deaths since the start of the War of Israel at 101.
Israel blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid to Gaza in March, but has since been granted a limited quantity of supplies through the controversial GHF Israel and the United States.
Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians looking for food aid since the launch of the GHF, which has been boycotted by the United Nations and the main aid agencies, most of the group’s distribution points, according to the United Nations Human Rights Office.
