LOGLINE: Since October 7, 2023, the Gaza Strip has remained inaccessible to the international press, with independent access to the territory effectively impossible. Among the few professional witnesses able to document the conflict from within were Agence France-Presse’s staff reporters. As bombs fell around them, they continued to report, photograph, and film, bearing witness while confronting the same dangers, deprivation, and uncertainty as the people whose stories they were telling. Now forced into exile, they reflect on what they endured and on the near-impossible task of documenting a war that has become the deadliest ever recorded for journalists.
