Anas al-Sharif was 28 years old. He grew up in Jabiya refugee camp. He lost his father in December 2023 to Israeli bombs. He was a courageous journalist for #AlJazeera. There is ZERO evidence he was attached to Hamas (this is what Israel does - malign the dead). His last words before he was killed by Israel on Saturday: “if these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me”

Story of a death foretold: a few weeks before Israeli forces killed him, ⁦@CPJMENA⁩ called for Anas Al-Sharif’s protection in face of Israeli smears - Committee to Protect Journalists cpj.org/2025/07/cpj-calls-fo…

⚫️ AFP management shares the SDJ's concern about the appalling situation of its freelancers in the Gaza Strip. For months, we have watched helplessly as their living conditions deteriorated dramatically. Their situation is now untenable, despite their exemplary courage, professional commitment, and resilience. This is why AFP, which managed to evacuate its eight staff members and their families from Gaza between January and April 2024, is taking the same steps for its freelancers, despite the extreme difficulty of leaving a territory subject to a strict blockade. Since October 7, Israel has blocked access to the Gaza Strip for all international journalists. In this context, the work of our Palestinian freelancers is crucial to informing the world. But their lives are in danger, so we urge the Israeli authorities to allow them to evacuate immediately along with their families. *The SDJ is an association of AFP newsroom journalists, independent from AFP management and journalist unions.

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die. ⁦@AFP⁩ ⁦@afpfr⁩

I can't believe it. Siarhei is here—with me and our children. What we’ve dreamed of for 5 years has finally happened. Tonight, I’m taking the evening off to talk with my husband, to let him see his children again, after so many years. Thank you all for the tremendous support!❤️
