'Aid workers are now standing in food lines, risking gunfire, just to feed their families,' the statement said, blaming the Israeli government's continued blockade for the starvation gripping the enclave. Humanitarian agencies have reported a rapid physical deterioration among colleagues and local partners as aid supplies run critically low.

The journalists, identified as Tamer al-Za'anin, a photojournalist affiliated with various outlets, and Walaa al-Jabari, a newspaper editor, were reportedly targeted in Israeli strikes. 'The Government Media Office condemns in the strongest terms the systematic targeting, killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the 'Israeli' occupation,' the office said in a statement on Telegram.

'For months, we have watched helplessly as their living conditions deteriorated dramatically,' AFP said in a statement from its Paris headquarters. 'Their situation is now untenable, despite their exemplary courage, professional commitment, and resilience.'

"Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us can recall seeing a colleague die of hunger," the association said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

One of them, Bashar Taleb, 30, posted on Meta: "I don't have the power to cover media anymore. My body is lean and I no longer have the ability to walk". He added that his older brother collapsed from hunger on Sunday morning. Despite receiving salaries, AFP freelancers in Gaza have reported being unable to find food or being forced to pay exorbitant prices. Israel's war on Gaza The Israeli army has launched a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing at least 58,667 Palestinians, including 17,400 children. More than 139,974 people have been injured, and over 14,222 are missing and presumed dead. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. A proposed 60-day ceasefire deal includes a pause in hostilities, increased humanitarian aid, and negotiations on the release of captives.

Overall outbound shipments edged down 0.5% year on year, according to data published by the Ministry of Finance on Thursday, missing a forecast of 0.5% increase in a Reuter poll of economists. Those to the U.S. slipped further to 11.4% decline from May's 11.1%.

Cubs Could Land Bullpen Solution In Trade For Braves' $58 Million Star

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter recently suggested Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias could be one of the best "buy low" trade targets on the trade block this season. "Raisel Iglesias was one of the best relievers in baseball in 2024, converting 34 of 38 save chances with a 1.95 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 2.9 WAR over 66 appearances in his third season with the Atlanta Braves," Reuter wrote. "That All-Star nod won't be coming this year, as he has struggled to the point of losing his hold on the ninth-inning job in favor of more of a committee approach. "However, his track record still makes him an appealing buy-low candidate. The 35-year-old is still generating a strong 36.5 percent whiff rate with his signature changeup and is averaging 94.5 mph with his fastball. The stuff is there for him to be a useful bullpen addition to a contender." CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MAY 23: Raisel Iglesias #26 of the Atlanta Braves delivers a pitch during the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 23, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - MAY 23: Raisel Iglesias #26 of the Atlanta Braves delivers a pitch during the ninth inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 23, 2024 in Chicago, Reuter didn't mention any team as a landing spot for Iglesias, the Chicago Cubs could emerge as the dream team for the righty. The Cubs acquired Ryan Pressly in the offseason to be the team's new closer, but they could use some support at the backend of games. Rather than targeting a traditional setup man, the Cubs could take a page out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' book and look to bring in another closer to help secure the eighth and ninth innings of games. Adding Iglesias to a winning team would be the best thing for him right now. Placing him beside another talented righty like Pressly would take a lot of pressure off both of their shoulders. Chicago could take a chance on the Braves' "buy low" closer in the coming weeks. More MLB: Dodgers Predicted To Cut Ties With Talented Top-Ranked Prospect

ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 18: Raisel Iglesias #26 of the Atlanta Braves pitches during the ninth inning against the Detroit Tigers at Truist Park on June 18, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. Kevin D. Liles/While Reuter didn't connect Iglesias to any specific landing spot, the Detroit Tigers could make sense as a suitor ahead of the trade deadline. Detroit is one of the better teams in baseball, and the roster should only get better down the stretch. With one of the best farm systems in the league, the Tigers could land a few huge trades without crippling their future. Detroit's bullpen has been solid. Will Vest and Tommy Kahnle have been excellent this season, but the Tigers could use another high-leverage arm at the backend of games. Adding Iglesias would take some of the pressure off the veteran's shoulders while moving him to an easier role as a setup man. It's not the kind of trade the Tigers need to make, but with how much prospect talent they have, it's a deal they can afford to make.

Cox/Getty Images While Reuter didn't link Iglesias to any team, the Los Angeles Dodgers would fit as a landing spot. The Dodgers have a lot of talented relievers in their bullpen this season, but multiple arms are injured. The team is also fighting injuries within the starting rotation. Because of this, a buy-low trade for Iglesias makes sense. Since the righty's contract expires at the end of the year, the Dodgers wouldn't be locked into a long-term commitment. They could opt to let him walk in free agency or re-sign him if the production is there. Either way, the Dodgers will likely pursue a relief pitcher this season, and Iglesias would make a lot of sense. More MLB: Phillies Mentioned As Trade Landing Spot For $120 Million Star Infielder
