The Washington, DC-based group said it was awarding its highest honour for press freedom to Dahdouh, Al Jazeera’s bureau chief in the Gaza Strip.
It noted that Dahdouh continued to report from the enclave despite suffering “unspeakable personal tragedies”.
This includes learning live on air that an Israeli air attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp had killed his wife, his seven-year-old daughter and his 15-year-old son, along with other family members. Another son, Hamza, who was also an Al Jazeera reporter, was killed by a drone attack in January.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 188 Palestinian journalists, according to authorities.
Displaced orphans ‘are on their own’
There is no letup in the attacks across the Gaza Strip. In the early hours of this morning our team member in northern Gaza reported that heavy artillery shelling hit the remaining residential buildings, infrastructure and public facilities in the city of Beit Lahiya, forcing people into further displacement.
This is a continuation of what has been going on for almost 40 days now – the ground offensive and assault by the Israeli military have caused further civilian casualties and displaced 100,000 to 130,000 people.
Here in the central area, overnight attacks hit a tent site in the centre of the city. This tent site was a place for orphans who have been displaced from across the Gaza Strip into the central area as well as housing for the street vendors who are now mostly children.
They are without their families. They are on their own.
The drone attack killed two people, according to the organisers and caretakers of this tent site, who make sure the orphans have a place to sleep and try to meet their needs for survival in these difficult conditions.
Three more people were killed in a residential attack on a Nuseirat refugee camp. They were all transferred to al-Awda Hospital. Wounded in the hospital are at risk of losing their lives because of the lack of medical supplies and proper medical care in the hospital.
