News outlets sign letter in solidarity with Gaza journalists

A group of leaders of more than 30 news outlets from around the world have signed an open letter stating their solidarity with journalists in Gaza.

The letter, coordinated by the Committee to Protect Journalists, comes as at least 94 journalists have been killed since the beginning of Israel's war, with 89 of them being Palestinians killed by the Israeli military.

“For nearly five months, journalists and media workers in Gaza – overwhelmingly, the sole source of on-the-ground reporting from within the Palestinian territory – have been working in unprecedented conditions,” the letter reads.

“These journalists – on whom the international news media and the international community rely for information about the situation inside Gaza – continue to report despite grave personal risk.”

The letter comes after another campaign from more than 50 journalists, who called on Israel and Egypt to provide "free and unfettered access to Gaza for all foreign media".
