Gaza's journalists are enduring severe hunger and deteriorating health while reporting in perilous conditions. Organizations warn that without intervention, their lives are at risk due to a lack of sufficient food allowed into the territory. Al Jazeera highlights the survival struggle faced by their reporters, emphasizing the dire consequences of inaction. Personal accounts describe extreme exhaustion and fainting due to starvation, with stories including a correspondent collapsing after a broadcast. The situation underscores a critical state for the Palestinian press, with urgent calls for help to prevent further loss of life.
Several news organizations are warning that their journalists in Gaza will die unless urgent action is taken to stop Israel's deliberate refusal to allow sufficient food into the territory.
We refuse to watch them die. Two days later, the Qatari broadcast network Al Jazeera said its journalists – like all Palestinians in Gaza – were fighting for their own survival.
I haven't stopped covering [the crisis] for a moment in 21 months, and today, I say it outright – And with indescribable pain. I am drowning in hunger, trembling in exhaustion.
Sally Thabet, correspondent for Al-Kofiya, fainted after a live broadcast because she had not eaten all day and regained consciousness in the hospital.
