Global news organizations call for Gaza access

JERUSALEM (AFP) — Senior leaders from more than two dozen global news organizations signed an open letter published on Thursday calling for Israel to allow international media to independently enter the Gaza Strip.

“In every conflict, journalists face limits on access to war zones. But Gaza is different. For more than 930 days, Israel has barred foreign reporters from independently entering the territory,” said the letter, endorsed by editors from 31 media organizations.
