Israel carried out a “triple attack” on health workers in southern Lebanon, killing at least three paramedics.
One of them is Fadel Serhan. We spent days with him and his team earlier this month as they described how they worked in fear of being attacked.
Today, they were.

A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
ALT JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. “Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”
