"Palestinian UN ambassador Riyad Mansour told a General Assembly meeting on the war that Israel 'targets those who could document (their) crimes and inform the world, the journalists.'
'We mourn one of those journalists, Samer Abu Daqqa, wounded in an Israeli drone strike and left to bleed to death for 6 hours while ambulances were prevented from reaching him,' Mansour said.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Abu Daqqa is the 64th journalist to be killed since the conflict erupted between Hamas and Israel: 57 Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese journalists."

"Abudaqa, a cameraman for Al Jazeera Arabic in Gaza, was hit in an Israeli drone attack while reporting at Farhana school in Khan Younis. His colleague, Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Wael Dahdouh, who lost his wife, son, daughter and grandson in a previous Israeli bombing, was wounded.
Journalists in Gaza are carrying a 'human and noble message' for the world amid the ongoing war and will continue to work despite Israeli attacks, Dahdouh said in his eulogy.
'We will continue to do our duty with professionalism and transparency,' he said, as mourners around him wept."
