Four of the world's most influential news organizations — BBC, AFP, Reuters, and the Associated Press — have jointly released a powerful short film urging Israel to grant foreign journalists access to the Gaza Strip. The campaign, launched during the UN General Assembly in New York, emphasizes the essential role of independent reporting in revealing the realities of conflict zones to the global community.

The film draws on decades of iconic war reporting, showcasing historic moments such as the coverage of World War II, the Vietnam War, the Tiananmen Square protests, the Rwandan genocide, the Syrian refugee crisis, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These images highlight how courageous journalism has shaped public understanding and influenced international responses to major humanitarian events.

Narrated by veteran BBC journalist David Dimbleby, the film opens with the powerful statement: "History is told by those who report it." This message underscores the indispensable role of journalists as witnesses to truth, even amid the most dangerous and volatile situations. Their work ensures that the stories of those affected by war and injustice are not silenced or forgotten.

Dimbleby further illustrates this point by recalling the haunting image of a young Syrian child's body washed ashore — a photograph that dramatically shifted global awareness of the refugee crisis. He also praises the bravery of reporters in Ukraine, who continue risking their lives daily to document the suffering of civilians.

However, the film stresses a troubling exception: Gaza. Currently, the task of documenting the conflict there falls almost exclusively to local Palestinian journalists, many of whom face immense danger and devastating losses.

The agencies argue that unrestricted access for foreign media is vital to ensuring accurate, comprehensive, and balanced reporting — a cornerstone of global accountability and justice.
