Dahdouh
and his colleague, Samer Abu Daqqa, were targeted on December 15, 2023, while
covering the Israeli strike on Farhanah School in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.
Dahdouh luckily made it out alive; however, Abu Daqqa was unfortunately killed
by the
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).
After
being allowed to leave Egypt via the Rafah Border Crossing, Dahdouh boarded a
Qatari evacuation jet headed to Doha.
“Today
marks the beginning of my treatment journey... We will return to our work after
treating my hand. We appreciate any efforts made by Egypt, as well as other
countries that support our people’s rights. Hopefully, these efforts will
culminate in the return of rights to the Palestinian people, and these wars and
pains will come to an end,”
Dahdouh stated in an interview with the Egyptian news channel, Al-Qahera News.
Despite
personal tragedy and danger, Dahdouh remains a constant and steadfast presence
on Al-Jazeera, covering the war’s developments, particularly its humanitarian
aspects and the suffering of Gaza’s residents, for over 100 days.
He
tragically lost several family members, including his wife, three of his
children, and a grandchild, at the beginning of the IOF’s siege on Gaza. His
eldest son, journalist Hamza Al-Dahdouh, 27, was also killed earlier this year
in an Israeli airstrike west of Khan Yunis.
