Briefly

from www.aljazeera.com5 months ago
We are alone. Deir el-Balah, Gaza, Palestine. I sat on my knees, heartbroken and trembling. We were on the cusp of marking 300 days of the Gaza war - a tragic milestone.

When you're a journalist...there's no time to process feelings amid the chaos and madness. I watched ambulances bring more bodies to the hospital, saw people crying and collapsing in grief.

We didn't want to believe it, but then, the confirmation came from colleagues out in the field. And I collapsed on my knees. It was a fresh slap in the face of all journalists in Gaza.

According to our count, 165 journalists have now been killed since the start of the war on October 7. Yet each time, the shock is indescribable.
