Doctors had to amputate Abu Omar’s right leg. He also suffered severe bleeding and still has pieces of shrapnel in his head and chest. The pair were injured while reporting on displaced Palestinians in the Rafah region. Al Jazeera accused Israel of deliberately targeting the journalists.

Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the killing of journalists in Gaza.
