US EditionNZ Joins Call for Foreign Media Access to Gaza
The Media Freedom Coalition, representing 27 countries, urges Israel to ensure journalist safety amid the deadliest conflict for media workers with over 190 killed since 2023.
- On August 21, a group of 27 nations, including New Zealand and the UK, jointly called on Israel to grant unrestricted and prompt entry to foreign journalists seeking to report from Gaza amid the intensifying conflict.
- This call follows Israel’s nearly two-year ban on independent foreign journalists entering Gaza, coinciding with a deadly military campaign launched after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
- The coalition condemned attacks on journalists, noting at least 192 media workers killed since the conflict’s start, highlighting Israel’s limited, censored military-escorted media access to Gaza.
- The joint statement highlighted the crucial contribution of journalists and media personnel in revealing the harsh realities of war and urged that all attacks against them be thoroughly investigated and those responsible held accountable.
- The appeal signals intensified international pressure on Israel to reverse media restrictions and suggests ongoing difficulties in achieving ceasefire and humanitarian access amid planned Israeli military offensives.
