PALESTINIAN JOURNALIST MOURNS SON AS DAUGHTER PLEADS WITH HIM TO LIVE
January 8, 2024My report on the heroic Aljazeera Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, buried is son on the weekend, two months after burying his wife, younger son, daughter and grandson. All murdered by TARGETED Israel missile strikes.
Hamza Dahdouh, 27, also a journalist was killed with a colleague Mustafa Thuraya while they were driving in their car reporting on Israel’s ongoing slaughter and massacre of Palestinians in Rafah on the Egyptian border in southern Gaza.
Dahdouh’s pain was made worse by his last remaining family member, his daughter pleading: “Dad please stay with us…you are all we have left”.
The defiant and stoic Dahdouh expresses the severe pain of experiencing loss ”again and again” and shares his dismay with a world that can allow 107 journalists to be murdered by the Israeli Occupation Forces without causing an international uproar.

English Script:
Daizy: The heroic Palestinian journalist, Wael Dahdouh, tragically said farewell to his last remaining son, journalist 27-year-old Hamza Dahdouh, over the weekend after an Israeli surgical air strike targeted the car, he was driving in killing him and a colleague Mustafa Thuraya. Dahdouh, the Aljazeera bureau chief in Palestine, lost his wife, a son, a daughter and grandson in a targeted airstrike on his home by Israel in early October, and yesterday his last remaining family member, his daughter, emotionally pleaded with him not to leave her too. Hamza, a journalist was out reporting on Israel’s relentless bombings of civilian areas in south Gaza when his vehicle was directly struck by an Israeli missile. Yesterday, Dahdouh spoke after burying his son expressing the deep pain that loss brings especially when it happens again and again.
Wael Al-Dahdouh: There is nothing more difficult than the pain of loss, and when you experience these pains again and again, things become more difficult and more severe, but what can we say?
Daizy: Dahdouh also shared how criminal it was that journalists whose job it was to bring the truth to the world were being undeniably targeted by Israeli Defence Forces while the world looked on without any criticism of Israel. Around 107 journalists have been killed in the conflict that started on October 7th, the vast majority Palestinian as well as four Lebanese media personnel.
Wael Al-Dahdouh: What is happening is unfair to us as journalists. It was said one day that freedom of opinion and expression, and that the work of journalists and obtaining information and images so that they reach their respective viewers and recipients, was said to be guaranteed by international law or humanitarian conventions. 107 journalists were killed, and their blood was shed on this earth, as if no one had heard this news, as if no one had seen what was happening. We call on the whole world to put an end to this slaughter that is killing journalists, one after another. I hope that the blood of my son Hamza will be the last blood among the journalists and the last blood among the people here in the Gaza Strip and to put an end to this massacre and slaughter.
