15, 2012 "The Washington Post"
- The
front page photo on
Thursday’s Washington Post tells, in a single frame, a very
personal story from Wednesday’s Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza
Strip. Jihad Misharawi, a BBC Arabic journalist who lives in
Gaza, carries the body of his 11-month old son, Omar, through
al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

An Israeli
round hit Misharawi’s four-room home in Gaza Wednesday, killing
his son, according to BBC Middle East bureau chief Paul Danahar,
who arrived in Gaza earlier Thursday. Misharawi’s sister-in-law
was also killed, and his brother wounded. Misharawi told Danahar
that, when the round landed, there was no fighting in his
residential neighborhood.
“We’re all
one team in Gaza,” Danahar told me, saying that Misharawi is a
BBC video and photo editor. After spending a “few hours” with
his grieving colleague, he
wrote on Twitter, ”Questioned asked here is: if Israel can
kill a man riding on a moving motorbike (as they did last month)
how did Jihad’s son get killed.”
Danahar
also shared the following photos of Misharawi’s small Gaza home,
which appears to have been heavily damaged. The place where the
round punctured his ceiling is clearly visible.

BBC World
editor Jon Williams
sent a memo about the young child’s death to colleagues,
according to The Telegraph:
Our thoughts are with Jihad and the rest of the team in Gaza.This is a particularly difficult moment for the whole bureau in Gaza.We’re fortunate to have such a committed and courageous team there. It’s a sobering reminder of the challenges facing many of our colleagues.
Reuters
also had a photographer at the Gaza City hospital where
Misharawi took his son. The story that these photos tell, of
loss and confusion, may help inform the Palestinian reactions –
and, as the photos continue to spread widely on social media,
perhaps the reactions from beyond the Palestinian territories –
to the violence between Israel and Gaza.
