A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die
July 21, 2025

AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024.

Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years.

We refuse to watch them die.

One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.”

Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness.

Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.”

Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%.

AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

Today I returned to Federal Plaza to observe court proceedings and support our neighbors attending their immigration hearings. As ever, numerous masked ICE agents filled the hall, hunting respondents, separating people from their families and communities regardless of their case status.

If you've ever wondered what you would do if fascism came to our country, if the government were rounding up our immigrant neighbors and trampling our constitutional rights, you no longer have to wonder. It's happening now. Every one of us must ask ourselves: Which side are you on? Act accordingly.

📢 Over 50 elected officials, labor leaders, and solidarity organizations nationwide are calling on Biden to remove #Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, ease Trump-era sanctions, and send humanitarian aid. It’s time to act. Press release: international.dsausa.org/cuba-solidar...

A letter addressed to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., dated December 5th, 2024. The letter opens by referencing the United Nations General Assembly's condemnation of the U.S. embargo on Cuba and highlights the humanitarian crisis faced by Cuba, exacerbated by natural disasters and U.S. sanctions. The letter urges President Biden to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list and provide humanitarian aid. It emphasizes the need for policy reversal to rekindle diplomatic engagement. The text advocates for lifting sanctions and highlights the moral and legal implications of the ongoing embargo.

The second page of the letter continues urging President Biden to take action on Cuba, focusing on removing punitive sanctions and supporting humanitarian aid. The page is signed by a list of elected officials, including New York State Senators, NYC Council Members, and other state representatives from across the U.S. The officials are affiliated with various states, such as Minnesota, Vermont, and California, showcasing broad geographical representation.

The third page lists labor union leaders and their respective organizations who have signed the letter, including leaders from the International Union, UAW, SEIU Local 73, and others. Partner organizations, such as labor coalitions and advocacy groups, are also listed. These groups highlight support from unions and activists committed to lifting the embargo and supporting Cuba.

The final page lists partner organizations and advocacy groups supporting the letter to President Biden. These organizations include peace and justice groups, religious organizations, and various coalitions focused on U.S.-Cuba relations. The page emphasizes the collective support of diverse groups for ending the embargo and improving relations with Cuba.
