The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified over the past 21 months amid ongoing conflict, with reports highlighting severe food shortages and starvation affecting both civilians and journalists. A displaced Palestinian woman at Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital reported not eating for five days, experiencing dizziness and weakness. The situation has escalated to the point where journalists from major international news agencies including Agence France-Presse (AFP), Associated Press (AP), BBC, and Reuters are facing extreme hunger, impairing their ability to report. AFP has called on the Israeli government to allow its freelance journalists to exit Gaza due to the worsening crisis. These news organizations have jointly expressed urgent concern for the safety and well-being of their reporters trapped in the region. British MP Kim Johnson has urged the UK government to take decisive action to protect Gaza's children, emphasizing a moral duty and the need for humanitarian intervention similar to past responses for Ukrainian and Syrian refugees. The United Nations has described the situation as a "horror show," with many, including children, dying from starvation. Journalists and residents alike report the scarcity of basic necessities and the devastating impact of the blockade and conflict on daily life in Gaza.
