BBC, AFP, AP and Reuters launch film calling for Gaza access
The BBC and three major news agencies released a film urging Israel to permit foreign journalists into Gaza amid ongoing conflict and media restrictions.
- The BBC and three international news agencies produced a short film urging Israel to allow foreign journalists into Gaza, premiering Wednesday in New York City at a Committee to Protect Journalists event coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly.
- Since the Israel-launched 2023 offensive after October 7th, foreign journalists have been banned from entering Gaza independently, with some escorted by the Israeli military, which justifies restrictions on security grounds.
- The BBC, AFP, AP, and Reuters film features David Dimbleby, emphasizing `International journalists must now be allowed into Gaza to share the burden with Palestinian reporters.` Deborah Turness states `As journalists, we record the first draft of history.`
- International concern has grown as BBC News, AFP, AP and Reuters expressed "desperate concern" for journalists facing hunger and displacement, while Israel blocks access, leaving reporting to Palestinian journalists, at least 189 of whom have been killed.
- That casualty count helps explain why the UN Human Rights Office reports at least 248 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, highlighting the reporting gap.
