“We feel that we are being killed twice: once by the bombs and once by this silence,” says Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh in an interview on the US television network MSNBC.

During the interview, Dahdouh called on Biden “to look at what’s happening” in Gaza and “to listen to people, ordinary people, who are paying the cost”.

“They have every right to secure their rights as human beings, as partners in humanity,” he said.

Several members of Dahdouh’s family have been killed, including his son Hamza who was killed in an Israeli missile attack last week.

On October 25 an Israeli raid hit the house where Dahdouh’s family had been sheltering in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing his wife Amna, son Mahmoud, 15, daughter Sham, 7, and grandson Adam, 1.
