Four journalists killed in Gaza hospital strike
Four journalists have been killed in an Israeli ’double-tap’ massacre on Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza.
Cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed in the first missile strike on the hospital in Khan Younis this morning.
One of the most prominent photojournalists in Gaza, Mariam Abu Dagga, Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammed Salama, and photojournalist Moaz Abu Taha were all killed in the second, which was aired on live television.
Dagga, 33, freelanced for Associated Press since the start of the war, as well as other news outlets.
At the time of her killing, she was reporting on Nasser Hospital doctors struggling to save children with no prior health issues who were wasting away from starvation.
The four journalists were among at least 15 people killed by Israel, which unleashed one missile first, then another moments later as rescue crews arrived.

Almost 270 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel in 22 months of war – or about 13 journalists every month – according to a tally by Shireen.ps
