Amid ceasefire, CPJ calls for foreign media access to Gaza

October 11, 2025 - As a ceasefire takes effect in Gaza, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has reaffirmed its calls for independent international media access.
“Without broader access and accountability, Palestinian journalists will continue to report under extreme danger, and an informed global response will be dangerously limited,” said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah.
Israeli authorities have prevented international journalists from entering Gaza since the start of the war, except for brief excursions, tightly controlled by the military. The ban has placed an impossible burden on local Palestinian journalists to document what leading human rights groups and UN experts agree is a genocide.
Since October 7, 2023, 197 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel in Gaza. Their colleagues in Gaza honored them by reading their names in this video produced by CPJ’s 2024 International Press Freedom Awardee Shrouq Al Aila.
