Media giants release film urging Israel to grant Gaza access to foreign journalists
LONDON: Four major international news agencies have released a film that urges Israel to allow foreign journalists into Gaza.
The short film from the BBC, AFP, Reuters and AP, times to coincide with the UN General Assembly taking place in New York, features historic journalistic footage from conflicts such as World War II, Vietnam, Tiananmen Square, the Rwandan genocide, the Syrian refugee crisis and the war in Ukraine.
“History is told by those who report it,” it begins, narrated by BBC journalist David Dimbleby.
“The report of a child’s body washed up on a beach revealed the stark reality of the Syrian refugee crisis; in Ukraine, journalists from around the world risk their lives every day to report the suffering of the people,” he said, over a slideshow of wartime images.
