#Lebanon: CPJ calls on Israeli forces to immediately ensure the safety of Lebanese journalists Amal Khalil and Zeinab Faraj, reportedly trapped in Al Tayri following an Israeli strike. Reports that the military is blocking Red Cross access is unacceptable and may constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian obligations. CPJ demands immediate humanitarian access, guarantees for their protection, and their safe, unhindered evacuation without delay.

#Lebanon: Urgent! RSF calls on the international community to immediately pressure the Israeli army into allowing the rescue of Al Akhbar journalist Amal Khalil, currently trapped near Tayri in southern Lebanon following an Israeli airstrike close to her vehicle. Her life is in danger right now! Continued Israeli airstrikes are preventing rescuers from reaching her.
