AFP has signed an open letter urging Israel to open access to Gaza

AFP has signed an open letter urging Israel to give journalists independent access to Gaza, alongside other +60 media and civil society organizations.


The organizations — which include the Associated Press, BBC, CNN, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post — point out that no independent media access to Gaza has been permitted since the start of the war, increasing the pressure on domestic journalists, and creating a space for mis- and disinformation to flourish.

The letter has been published on July 11, 2024 by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
