This is very sad about Mariam Dagga a photo journalist for AP who was one of the five reporters among the 22 people killed by the IDF at the hospital on Monday.

Algeria's ambassador to the United Nations, his voice breaking and on the verge of tears, read a letter Wednesday to the U.N. Security Council that Dagga wrote days before she was killed.
It was addressed to her 13-year-old son, Gaith, who left Gaza at the start of the war to live with his father in the United Arab Emirates.
Holding up a photo of Dagga, Amar Bendjama called her "a young and beautiful mother" whose only weapon was a camera.
"Ghaith. You are the heart and soul of your mother," Bendjama quoted Dagga as writing. "When I die, I want you to pray for me, not to cry for me."
"I want you never, never to forget me. I did everything to keep you happy and safe and when you grow, when you marry, and when you have a daughter, name her Mariam after me."
