AFP at the forefront of solidarity initiative for journalists in Gaza

More than 30 news organisations signed an open letter Thursday expressing solidarity with journalists working in Gaza and calling for their protection and freedom to report.


AFP was among the early signatories of an open letter published on Thursday by the CPJ (Committee to Protect Journalists), in which more than thirty international news organisations, including Reuters and AP, affirm that they "stand united with Palestinian journalists in their call for safety, protection, and the freedom to report." 

Since the beginning of the Israeli-Gaza conflict, at least 94 journalists and media workers have been killed, according to the latest count from CPJ on March 1, 2024.
