Journalists are struggling to stay alive as Israel imposes forced starvation on Palestinians in Gaza. 
 
Al Jazeera is urging urgent action to save their lives.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

News agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) says its journalists in Gaza are at risk of starving to death.

"Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us can recall seeing a colleague die of hunger," the organization said.

Our latest documentary.

We went to Costa Rica to meet farmworkers who were sterilized – and could never have children – after being exposed to a toxic pesticide. All in the name of cheaper bananas.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

These farmworkers picked bananas – and were rendered sterile because of the toxic pesticides used on them. Now they’re fighting back against the U.S. corporations who made it impossible for them to ever have children.

[Mohamed Moawad @moawady]

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the loss of our colleague journalist, Ismail Al-Ghoul, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike while courageously covering the events in northern Gaza. Ismail was renowned for his professionalism and dedication, bringing the world’s attention to the suffering and atrocities committed in Gaza, especially in Al-Shifa Hospital and the northern neighborhoods. Without Ismail, the world would not have seen the devastating images of these massacres.

Ismail was a determined journalist who refused to succumb to hunger, illness, and the loss of his brother. He relentlessly covered the events and delivered the reality of Gaza to the world through Al Jazeera. His voice has now been silenced, and there is no longer a need to call out to the world. Ismail fulfilled his mission to his people and his homeland. Shame on those who have failed the civilians, journalists, and humanity.
