Press freedom group demands ‘immediate entrance’ to Gaza
The Foreign Press Association has denounced Israel’s refusal to allow international journalists into the Gaza Strip and filed a new petition at the Israeli Supreme Court asking for immediate access to the Palestinian enclave.
The FPA, which represents international media groups, said Israel’s behaviour is “shocking” for a country “that professes its commitment to the democratic ideals of a free press”.
“Never before has Israel enforced such a long and strict information blackout,” the FPA said.
The group said it was turning to the Israeli Supreme Court – which upheld the entry ban on security grounds in January – “in hopes to sustain the freedom of the press and democratic fundamental rights”.
It added, “To Israel, we say enough with the excuses. It is time to let us in.”

Survivors say Israel’s attack on al-Mawasi felt like an earthquake
We have more from witnesses and survivors of Israel’s deadly attack on displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi.
“We were sitting about a kilometre from the bombing site. We were sleeping when five missiles rained down like a fire belt,” said Ibrahim Al-Bahsheti, a Palestinian living in a tent near the bombing site. “Afterward, the tents looked like they had been hit by an earthquake. The ground was turned upside down,” he said.
Another woman said she felt “unimaginable fear”. “We were sleeping in our tents when the missiles fell beside us. We survived by a miracle. I never imagined I would survive. We’re still in shock,” said Ibtisam Al Shaker, who has been staying in al-Mawasi for the past six months.
“Everything fell on top of us. Our children were buried in the sand. We ran out screaming and we could only see their heads buried beneath the sand,” she told Al Jazeera. “We’ve had enough of this life. I think six missiles fell on us. We couldn’t count them, but the scene was horrific,” she added.
