BBC freelance journalists so hungry they can’t think straight

The BBC and other Western media organizations work with freelance Palestinian journalists to report from Gaza. Israel does not allow Western journalists to enter except on escorted tours. Recently, the BBC shared messages they’ve received from three journalists about the starvation. The BBC did not name them out of fear for their safety. 

"I can't describe the feeling," said a cameraman in southern Gaza. "My stomach twists in knots, and I have a headache, add to that being emaciated and weak. I used to work from 07:00 until 22:00 [10 pm] but now I can barely do one story. I just feel dizzy."

Recently, he collapsed while filming but later resumed his work.

Another journalist said he has lost more than 60 pounds. “"I used to complete most news reports with great speed, but now I am slow in finishing them due to my poor health and psychological state," he said. "Delirium and fatigue accompanies me."
