Al Jazeera Cameran in Critical Condition; Gaza Mourns Beloved Teacher and Journalist Omar Al-Balaawi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Al Jazeera says its camera operator Fadi al-Wahidi remains in critical
condition after he was shot in the neck by an Israeli sniper while
reporting from Jabaliya. It's been a bloody week for media workers in
Gaza. Journalist Omar Al-Balaawi, who was also a celebrated teacher to
Gaza's children, was shot and killed by Israeli forces, also in
Jabaliya, on Wednesday. Over the past year, Al-Balaawi kept his beloved
English classes going amid displacement, the destruction of his home and
the death of his family members.
