Urgent Appeal:
I am reaching out to all those concerned with press freedom. Today, I was informed by doctors that the health of my friend and Al Jazeera cameraman, Fadi Al-Wahidi, has deteriorated significantly.
Fadi was shot by an Israeli sniper while professionally covering events, and he was wearing a press vest clearly marking him as a journalist.
We are currently in northern Gaza, under siege by Israeli forces. If he does not receive urgent medical treatment abroad, his life is at serious risk.
I urge all human rights organizations, press associations, and international bodies to assist in facilitating his immediate transfer out of Gaza for treatment. Your support could save his life.
