Major global news organizations are calling on Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and on the movement of reporters in and out of the enclave as Palestinian reporters there struggle to survive amid extreme privation.

International leaders and humanitarian organizations have sounded alarms about Gaza’s rapidly worsening hunger crisis, which has led to dozens of hunger-related deaths this month, according to the local health authorities.

Now news organizations, including The New York Times, have also begun weighing in, noting that Israel has restricted international reporters from independently entering the enclave during the war and that local reporters are trapped there without enough food to live or work.

“Reporting from any conflict zone is a risky and brave pursuit that ultimately performs a global public service,” Philip Pan, the international editor of The Times, said in a statement on Sunday. “Adding the threat of food deprivation and even starvation to these risks is deeply concerning.”

Mr. Pan said that Times journalists in Gaza “face difficulty finding food and ensuring safe freedom of movement in order to do their jobs.” The news organization has supported appeals to the Israeli Supreme Court for safe and increased access to Gaza, he said. It has also evacuated a number of journalists and their families.

The Times, Mr. Pan said, “will continue to push for journalists to be allowed to work securely and without fear or hesitation in Gaza.”
