Global news agencies voice concern over journalists' safety in Gaza

In a joint statement released on social media, the media outlets said: "We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world's eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering."

The media outlets also said they were "deeply alarmed" by the starvation threat facing journalists.

"We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there," they added.
