The mother of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief has died at a hospital in Gaza due to illness.
Dahdouh, who has become a symbol of the perseverance of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, had lost his wife Amna, son Mahmoud, daughter Sham and grandson Adam , and now his mother to an Israeli air raid in October.
Dahdouh was later wounded in an Israeli drone attack that killed his colleague, Al Jazeera cameraman Samer Abudaqa. Last month, his eldest son, Hamza – a journalist who worked with Al Jazeera – was also killed in an Israeli attack alongside fellow journalist Mustafa Thuraya.
