“International media must be authorized in Gaza”
This is the request of the BBC, the Associated Press, the Agency France-Presse and Reuters, in a short film intended to demonstrate the importance of giving foreign media access to the war zone.
Israel continues to block the roads to Gaza for journalists, which means that the conflict is documented by Palestinian journalists, of which at least 189 were killed.
Railed by the BBC presenter, David Dimbleby, the two -minute clip uses images of emblematic news to highlight independent journalism through the key moments in history.
This included the landing of D -Day, the emblematic image of a child burned by napalm in Vietnam and the demonstrator of the tank in the Tiananmen square.
BBC News CEO Deborah Turness said: “As journalists, we record the first project in history. But in this conflict, reports fall only on a small number of Palestinian journalists, who pay a terrible cost. After two years of conflict, we must be let in. ”
The short term was created in New York on Wednesday evening during an event organized by the Committee to protect journalists to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly.
