International journalists have been denied access to Gaza since October 2023, marking an unprecedented blockade. CNN's Jeremy Diamond highlights the worsening humanitarian crisis, particularly the starvation affecting Palestinians. He emphasizes the need for foreign journalists to enter Gaza, not to challenge local reporting, but to share the burden and support Palestinian journalists working under extremely difficult conditions. Diamond stresses the importance of fair, fearless reporting, drawing on his experience covering the Trump administration.
