Sky News has announced it is joining the BBC in refusing to broadcast an emergency appeal for Gaza. Skip related content
The broadcaster said in a statement that it had informed the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), an umbrella organisation for 13 humanitarian aid agencies, of its decision.
John Ryley, head of Sky News, said: "The conflict in Gaza forms part of one of the most challenging and contentious stories for any news organisation to cover.
"Our commitment as journalists is to cover all sides of that story with uncompromising objectivity."
The decision comes after BBC Director-General Mark Thompson defended the corporation's decision not to broadcast the appeal in spite of more than 10,000 complaints.
He said the BBC was "passionate" about defending its impartiality.
Meanwhile, the head of the Anglican Church has piled pressure on the BBC to screen the appeal.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, joined a chorus of prominent public figures and celebrities who called for the BBC to reverse its decision.
"My feeling is that the BBC should broadcast an appeal," he said.
Golden Globe winning actress Samantha Morton condemned the BBC's decision, which has prompted more than 10,000 complaints, as "horrific" and said she would never work for the BBC again if it failed to change its decision.
The advert was not a political message but "about raising money for children who are dying", she said.
A parliamentary motion also urging the BBC to screen the appeal was backed by more than 50 MPs from across the Commons.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
