“Awful news about our colleague Ibrahim Dahman’s family: at least nine of his relatives have been killed,” wrote CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour on X.
Adding, “He’s been fearlessly reporting for CNN from Gaza since well before this war began.”
Dahman reportedly lost his uncle, the uncle’s wife, daughter and two grandchildren, in addition to his aunt, her husband and their two children in an airstrike.
“They were extremely peaceful and simple people, and their entire lives were devoted solely to work and raising their sons and daughters,” recalled Dahman.
“They have no affiliation with any organization or group… Pray to God to have mercy on them all,” exclaimed the photojournalist.
“I will never be able to forget every stone and corner of the house in which I was born and raised and in which my children were born,” lamented Daham.
“I’ve covered many wars through the years,” said Dahman.
“Nothing compares to the current conflict,” he continued.
“Entire quarters in Gaza have been eviscerated, thousands of women, children and elderly have perished,” explained the CNN contributor.
“What have civilians done to deserve this?” he concluded.
The ongoing conflict has led to widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis, with calls for a permanent cease-fire and urgent aid for the displaced population.
