They urged states to act swiftly to “save lives before there are none left to save.”“Israel is starving Gazan journalists into silence. They are not merely reporters; they are essential witnesses left isolated as international media withdrew,” asserted CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. “Immediate action is vital to protect these individuals, provide sustenance, and facilitate recovery while other journalists assist in coverage.”Recently, CPJ initiated its *Voices From Gaza* video series, showcasing Palestinian journalists’ struggles. The first video featured Moath al Kahlout, recounting the loss of his cousin while awaiting humanitarian aid.With over 1,000 Palestinians claimed by the conflict, the hardship intensifies, emphasizing the urgent need for global awareness and intervention.
