Mariam Abu Dagga, one of four journalists killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, was a freelance journalist who had worked with the Associated Press since the outbreak of Israel’s war with Hamas in October 2023, the news agency says.
Abu Dagga, 33, had reported for AP on issues including child malnutrition in Gaza, and earlier this month reported on Nasser Hospital doctors struggling to save children with no prior health issues who were wasting away from starvation.
The Reuters news agency said earlier that its contractor cameraman, Hussam al-Masri, was killed in the same strike, and Al Jazeera said photojournalist and cameraman Mohammad Salama was as well.
