The Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Jerusalem has filed a petition with the Israeli supreme court requesting immediate access for international media to the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports.

Several Israeli and international reporters have entered Gaza embedded with the Israeli military, but the association called this “limited access” and said it did not allow “access to areas where soldiers are not present”.

The FPA, which it says represents some 370 journalists from around 130 media outlets, said it had submitted multiple requests to the government to gain access but had not received a response.
