“Ahmed was burned in front of the whole world,” says Gaza’s wife, after the Israeli strike.

Warning: This story contains the details of a man who is alive.

Nidaa Mansour was on her phone when she read news that an Israeli air strike had hit a tent used by local media in southern Gaza, causing fire in the tent.

She contacted a feverish in her husband, Ahmed Mansour, a journalist and editor of the Palestine News Agency today, who was working in the tent in the southern city of Khan Yunis at the time. She could not contact him, but she learned that he was transferred to the hospital, although she was not aware of his condition.

This week, footage of Mansour, who seemed to show him overwhelmed the fire, was sitting – at some point lifting his hands – widely on social media.

“Ahmed was burned in front of the whole world,” Nida said at his funeral on Tuesday. “The whole world saw him burning, and no one was able to help him.”

The joint video on the Internet showed a man running to Mansor to try to withdraw his leg to get it out, while others tried to use the little water that they had to deviate from the fire and throw the blankets over it. People shouted at terror and disbelief because they saw his body consumed by the fire.

“Dear God,” one person shouted while photographing.

CBC News has seen the shots and chose not to show it because of its graphic nature.

Ahmed, 32, was taken to the hospital in critical condition due to the severe burns he suffered. He died in the hospital one day after Tuesday.

The journalist Hilmi Al-Faqi was killed, along with another man, in the Israeli air strike in the media tent in the early hours of the Monday, while nine others-including Mansour-were injured. The media tent was inside a complex in Nasser Hospital.

Nida, 28, said that she had contacted her husband on Sunday evening, and asked him to leave the area after hearing air strikes. He told her that he would leave soon, before the attack occurred.

“It is no longer,” she said. “I called him several times. But he didn’t pick up.”

Mansour is left behind 3 children

When Nida arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, where Mansour was transferred for treatment, she could not see him.

“I still have some hope that he is still alive,” Nida said. When she was allowed to visit her husband, she said that his condition was very difficult.

At his funeral on Tuesday, colleagues carried the body of Mansour, wrapped in a white shroud, on a medical stretch with his blue jacket at the top. His wife knelt next to his body reading the Qur’an, where dozens of others around him, including his and his two ages, gathered between 1 and 6, and a five -year -old daughter.

In a joint statement on Monday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli security agency (ISA) said that it launched an attack in that area on Abdel -Abed Al -Fateh Muhammad Asli (Esseleh), claiming that he was a member of Hamid Hamas Khan Unit, who was taking him in a journalist. They did not provide evidence.

The statement claims that he documented and loaded footage of looting, intentional burning and killing during the Hamas -led attacks on October 7, 2023, to social media.

CBC News reviewed ASLIH’s Instagram account but did not find publications. Ismail Al -Thua, director of the government media office in Gaza, said that Israel’s accusations against Asla were “wrong”, adding that his Aslism had no political affiliation.

Other journalists were killed

The attack on the media tent came a day after the killing of Islam Mikda, another journalist, with her husband and child.

Mansour’s death on Tuesday raised the number of journalists who were killed in the Israeli Gaza campaign since October 2023 to 211, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

In a statement on Monday, the US -based committee in the United States condemned the protection of journalists (CPJ) the attack.

“This is not the first time that Israel has targeted journalists for the tents in Gaza,” said Sara Kae, the regional director to attract CPJ in the Middle East and North Africa.

“CPJ calls on authorities to allow the wounded, some of whom were severely burned, immediately for treatment, and stop attacking the already destroyed press corps in Gaza.”

The Israeli Defense Army said it took “many steps” before the attack to reduce harm to civilians, including the use of microfinance, air control and additional intelligence.

The ceasefire agreement erupted between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on March 18 after Israel resumed air and land attacks on the war -torn lands, after a first stage of 42 days of the agreement that largely stopped the fighting.

Palestinian officials say more than 50,000 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli attack in Gaza. It is believed that thousands are still under the rubble, according to the Palestinian civil defense.

Israel began its attack after thousands of militants led by Hamas attacked the societies in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 hostages, according to the Israeli.
