An Al Jazeera cameraman injured in a missile strike on Gaza has died, the broadcaster says.<\/p>\n

Two journalists working for the Qatari-based television network were hurt in the blast in southern Gaza, the channel reported earlier today.<\/p>\n

Cameraman Samer Abu Dakka has now died from his injuries, Al Jazeera says.<\/p>\n

Chief correspondent Wael al Dahdouh was also wounded when a drone fired a missile at a school-turned-shelter in the southern city of Khan Younis.<\/p>\n

Shrapnel from the attack hit Mr Dahdouh in his right arm. He was later taken to Nasser hospital for treatment, according to the channel.<\/p>\n

Mr Dakka also suffered shrapnel injuries and paramedics struggled to reach him, Hani Mahmoud, another Al Jazeera journalist, reported.<\/p>\n

In a statement paying tribute to Mr Dakka, Al Jazeera said: “It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the loss of our dedicated Al Jazeera cameraman Samer Abu Dakka during the recent coverage in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“His unwavering commitment to truth and storytelling has left an indelible mark on our team.<\/p>\n

“Samer, whose lens captured the raw and unfiltered reality of life in Gaza, was not just a skilled professional but a compassionate soul who understood the power of visual storytelling.<\/p>\n

“His courage in the face of adversity allowed the world to witness the untold stories of a region grappling with complex challenges.<\/p>\n

“In the pursuit of truth, our cameraman faced immense risks to bring viewers a deeper understanding of the human experience in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“His lens became a window into the lives of those affected by conflict, shedding light on stories that needed to be told.”<\/p>\n

The news comes a month-and-a-half after Mr Dahdouh’s wife, 15-year-old son, seven-year-old daughter and his grandson were killed in an apparent Israeli airstrike.<\/p>\n

His family was seeking refuge in Nuseirat camp in the centre of Gaza<\/strong> when their home was reportedly struck by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera’s managing editor, Mohamed Moawad, said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter: “We appeal to the global journalistic community, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and humanitarian organisations to swiftly coordinate the evacuation of our injured journalist trapped inside a school.<\/p>\n

“The gravity of the situation demands immediate attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our colleague!”<\/p>\n

The International Federation of Journalists said it is “deeply shocked” after hearing about the attack, adding: “We condemn the attack and reiterate our demand that journalists’ lives must be safeguarded.”<\/p>\n

At least 56 Palestinian, four Israeli and three Lebanese journalists and media workers have been killed since 7 October, according to figures compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
