On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike hit the Nusseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of at least 37 Palestinians, including the family of veteran journalist Wael Dahdouh.
Dahdouh’s 44-year-old wife, Amna, 16-year-old son, 11-year-old daughter, Sila, and 9-year-old daughter, Tila, were all killed in the airstrike. In a video posted by AJ+, Dahdouh said that it was his “duty” to quickly return to work despite the loss of several members of his family.
The airstrike destroyed some 15 homes in the area, leaving many families homeless and in mourning. The bodies of Dahdouh’s daughters were found tucked beneath each other in the rubble, and were wrapped in flowered sheets and carried to the back of a pickup truck.
The airstrike is the latest in a string of violence between Israel and Palestine, with the death toll now reaching over 200 since the conflict began. The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire, but both sides have yet to agree to terms.
Despite the tragedy, Dahdouh has returned to the field to continue his reporting. His courage in the face of such tragedy is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
