Leading international media outlets — AFP, AP, Reuters, and the BBC — on Thursday jointly urged Israeli authorities to allow journalists to freely enter and exit the Gaza Strip, citing grave concerns over the welfare of media workers trapped in the besieged enclave.

“We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families,” the organisations said in a joint statement. “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza.”
