Journalists' Access to Gaza Conflict

Journalists are still demanding unfettered access to Gaza,

but Israel is refusing to allow it.

It's been three years since the October 7th attacks here in Israel led

by Hamas, which killed around 1,200 people

and saw over

250 taken hostage by militants in Gaza.

That massacre sparked a war that's killed tens of thousands

of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Three years on, we and other outside journalists have still

not been

allowed into Gaza except on very brief reporting trips guided

by Israel's military. It's very different to the war in Gaza

back in

2014, which we covered independently from the

ground

inside the Gaza Strip. Palestinian journalists in Gaza have

reported on the war even as their homes have been destroyed and

family members killed. In many cases, they've paid with their own

lives.
