Journalist Salman Al-Bashir made an impassioned plea after hearing that his colleague was killed by an israeli airstrike during a live broadcast.
Removing his protective gear, he said: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death.
“We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed,” Al-Bashir said while the anchor broke down in tears.
“Mohammad was here half an hour ago. Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”
