Press Groups Demand Israel Allow for Evacuation of Critically Injured Al Jazeera Reporters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from Gaza, Al Jazeera camera operator Fadi al-Wahidi
remains in a coma after he was shot in the neck by an Israeli sniper
while reporting in Jabaliya earlier this month. Israeli authorities have
blocked the evacuation of al-Wahidi from Gaza, as well as that of fellow
Al Jazeera cameraperson Ali al-Attar, to receive urgently needed medical
treatment. Press freedom groups are demanding that the two Al Jazeera
camerapeople be allowed out of Gaza in order to survive.
