\n Editor\u2019s Note: <\/em><\/strong>A version of this article first appeared in the \u201cReliable Sources\u201d newsletter.\u00a0<\/em>Sign up for the daily digest chronicling the evolving media landscape here.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n Al Jazeera is grieving.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Qatari-funded news network said Wednesday that an Israeli air strike had killed the family of its Gaza bureau chief, Wael Al-Dahdouh \u2014 a devastating reality that Dahdouh learned on-air while reporting on the Israel-Hamas war.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe Al Jazeera Media Network extends its sincere condolences and sympathy to our colleague Wael Al-Dahdouh on the loss of his family in an Israeli airstrike,\u201d the channel said in a statement, adding that it is \u201cdeeply concerned about the safety, and well-being of our colleagues in Gaza and hold the Israeli authorities responsible for their security.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n It has been exceptionally challenging for news organizations to obtain accurate, real-time information during the conflict in the Gaza Strip and CNN could not\u00a0independently confirm the cause of the blast. But a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces told CNN Wednesday night, \u201cRegarding this specific case, the IDF targeted Hamas terrorist infrastructure in the area.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Regardless of the cause, the deaths of Dahdouh\u2019s wife, daughter, son, and grandson underscore the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza as innocent civilians find themselves caught in the middle of a brutal war between Israel and Hamas. Like many others, Dahdouh\u2019s family was reportedly sheltering in a refugee camp when a blast reduced a house on the property to rubble.\n <\/p>\n

\n The distraught look on Dahdouh\u2019s face as he walked into the morgue on Wednesday to view the bodies of his family \u2014 a heart-wrenching moment broadcast by Al Jazeera to the world \u2014 was reflective of what scores of Gaza residents have been going through as Israel carries out air strikes in retaliation for Hamas\u2019 savage attack on the Jewish state earlier this month. Thousands of people living in Gaza have lost their lives since the onset of the war, according to the Hamas-controlled health authorities.\n <\/p>\n

\n Dahdouh, overcome with emotion, was seen kneeling before the body of his 15-year-old son, Mahmoud, who Al Jazeera reported had hoped to grow up to become a journalist like his father. Additional footage showed the shattered father holding the body of his seven-year-old daughter.\n <\/p>\n

\n Dahdouh\u2019s visible pain, and unimaginable grief, offered the world a glimpse of the horrors taking place each day in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict. While some Western news organizations do have producers and freelancers in Gaza, there are no U.S. anchors or correspondents on the ground inside the narrow and densely populated strip that millions call home. As a result, global audiences most often see sanitized video of the air strikes from afar, not the immense human suffering that those strikes give way to. CNN has two stringers filing daily video which we are airing in PKGs by Clarissa Ward, Salma Abdelaziz and others\n <\/p>\n

\n Al Jazeera correspondent Youmna Elsayed, described Dahdouh as a \u201cbig brother\u201d type figure in the bureau, stressing too that he was committed to staying in the region and reporting on the war.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe didn\u2019t leave Gaza City,\u201d Elsayed said. \u201cHe stayed despite all the threats and warnings and didn\u2019t stop for 19 days in a row. He said, \u2018I must be here in Gaza City to report about these people who are getting bombed every day.\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe didn\u2019t give up on them,\u201d Elsayed added. \u201cHe didn\u2019t want to leave.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
