Abed Shaat drifted off to sleep on Sunday night, exhausted after covering Israeli air strikes all day.
The 33-year-old freelance photographer had returned to a tent in front of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza where he’d been based along with other journalists since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Then, they were jolted awake.
“I woke up to the sound of a huge explosion nearby,” Shaat said. “My colleagues and I immediately rushed out of the tent. [I had] my mobile phone to film.
“The strike had directly hit the journalists’ tent nt across from us. I was horrified – to target journalists like this!”
The tent belonged to the TV station Palestine Today.
“I started taking pictures from a distance, but as I got closer to the burning tent, I saw one of my colleagues on fire,” Shaat said.
