“The total ban on entry to Gaza must end and we must be able to see fully what is happening,” said Thibaut Bruttin, director general of Reporters Without Borders.

It is necessary that “the total ban on entry to Gaza ends and we can fully see what is happening”said Thibaut Bruttin, the director general of Reporters Without Borders (RSF), on franceinfo on Monday August 26, while around sixty international organizations defending the press are asking the European Union to suspend its association agreement with Israel.

Thibaut Bruttin recalls that 130 journalists have died in Gaza since the attacks of October 7, and that only Palestinian journalists already present on site can bear witness to the situation.

“Palestinian journalists who continue to work are the eyes of the international community.”

“There is no possibility for foreign journalists to enter the Gaza Strip, so it is absolutely necessary to set up a system that allows Palestinian journalists who wish to leave.” but also the entry of journalists from all over the world. “We must see that there are a large number of international journalists who want to enter the Gaza Strip” but who cannot do so except with accreditation from the Israeli army. “We can clearly see the problem that this poses.”he comments.
