Friends and colleagues are remembering the Palestinian photojournalist Rushdi al-Saraj, who was reportedly killed in his home by an Israeli air strike on 22 October.
“Despite the dangers of wartime, he preferred to stay at home in the northern Gaza Strip, explaining that his family had fled Jaffa in 1948 and that he did not want to relive a second Nakba,” said Frederic Metezeau, a former colleague of Saraj's at Radio France Internationale.
Agnes Callamard, the secretary general of Amnesty International, wrote:
“We have lost a friend and colleague: Rushdi Saraj, who worked with Amnesty on a short film, was murdered today in an Israeli air strike. Rushdi was a talented film maker and journalist - another victim of Israel bombing of Gaza.”
At least 23 journalists have been killed since the war began on 7 October.
