Fellow Tel Aviv Tribune photographer Fadi Al-Wahidi fell into a coma after his health deteriorated, and the occupation authorities did not allow him to leave the northern Gaza Strip – yet – for treatment.
The doctor supervising the health condition of Al-Wahidi, who was shot by the occupation army in Jabalia, said yesterday that his condition is very serious and he must be transferred abroad quickly to receive treatment.
The doctor confirmed that the medical teams performed a number of surgical operations on the colleague, Al-Wahidi, but they did not succeed in saving him from complete paralysis.
Al-Wahidi suffers from damage to the arteries and veins and broken bones, according to what the doctor supervising his case said.
The Tel Aviv Tribune photographer, who was injured while covering the siege of Jabalia Camp on the ninth of this month, is receiving modest medical care due to the difficulties facing the health system in the northern Gaza Strip.
Three international organizations have called on Israel to allow Al-Jazeera photographers Ali Al-Attar and Al-Wahidi to leave the Gaza Strip for treatment, after they were injured by occupation fire and raids, while the Committee to Protect Journalists said that it did not receive an Israeli response to the removal of the two colleagues.
On October 6, the Israeli army announced the start of an invasion of the northern Gaza Strip for the third time since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, under the pretext of preventing the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) from regaining its power in the region, while the Palestinians say that Israel wants to occupy the region. And the displacement of its population.
