More than 50 journalists working for British and American television stations demand “free and unhindered access” to Gaza for foreign media. “Nearly five months after the start of the war in Gaza, foreign journalists are still refused access to this territory, apart from rare visits under escort by the Israeli army,” they write.

‘It is essential that the safety of local journalists is respected and that their efforts are supported by the journalism of members of the international media,’ said Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford.
