ICYMI: Palestinian Journalists Are Starving In Gaza

Last week, more than 100 aid and human rights groups warned that Gaza is at risk of "mass starvation."

They signed an appeal demanding Israel allow food shipments into the territory. On Saturday, Israel's military announced airdrops of aid began in Gaza and that humanitarian corridors will be established.

Among those starving in the besieged strip are members of the press. Palestinian journalists are working for outlets around the world because Israel has barred international reporters from traveling to the area. Now, several news organizations are warning their employees in Gaza will die unless something changes.
