Palestinians evacuate two wounded boys out of the destruction following airstrikes on Gaza City, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023. | Abed Khaled/APWael Dahdouh, was helping broadcast live images of the territory’s night sky when he received the devastating news: His wife, son and daughter had all been killed on Wednesday.
Dahdouh’s family were among the more than 1 million Gaza residents displaced by the war, now in its 19th day, and were staying in a house in Nuseirat when the strike hit, the network said. Late Wednesday, Al Jazeera replayed the moment Dahdouh was informed about the deaths. In an audio recording he is heard picking up a phone and telling a frantic caller multiple times: “Who are you with?”
“This is the safe area which the occupation army talked about, the moral army,” said Dahdouh with bitter sarcasm to a fellow Al Jazeera reporter at the al-Aqsa hospital.
