the israeli military has told reuters in the afp that they cannot guarantee the safety of journalistsder international law, journalists must be protected during a war. so how should the international community be intervening, given your understanding of what is happening inside? >> you're right. so, journalists are considered civilians in any conflict such situation, and should be treated as such. it's extraordinarily difficult, it's unimaginable, what journalists are currently trying to go through and gaza. they are simultaneously trying to find places of safety, keep themselves safe, but also report on the air strikes, on the bombings. we've heard of people trying to go and cover, for example, refugee convoys, when they know that those are under attack. there's very little fuel, very little water. there was, as we heard, a complete blackout for 24 hours, and this is a time when we absolutely need journalists. we need them to be our eyes and ears. there are no international crews in gaza at the moment. so were entirely reliant on local palestinian journalists who are not only trying

really important to have journalists working for reliable news outlets like the bbc, like reuters, like afpd of conflicts. many are covering their fourth or fifth conflict and have access. very few journalists can access gaza. those who are there are often palestinian journalist to have an acute understanding of what's happening and their work is really important. given the state of the current conflict that appears to have moved to a significant new phase, we know that troops are massing on the borders and we are told from the israeli prime minister that he wants the troops to be ready. what can be done to ensure that the people covering the conflict are kept safe? it's extremely difficult. covering a conflict is perhaps the most dangerous assignment a journalist will ever have. it's extremely difficult to guarantee one's safety covering a conflict. certainly every journalist we know is wearing protective equipment and what we absolutely cannot have is a situation in which they are targeted for their work and it is absolutely imperative that all sides recognise that journalists imperative
