Earlier, it was reported that Ahmed Mansour sustained severe injuries and burns from the Israeli attack on the journalists’ tent near Nasser Hospital.

The Palestinian, who is also a father, is fighting for his life with “catastrophic burns” and that doctors are “desperately trying to save him”, Al Jazeera quotes The Quds News Network as reporting.

The outlet reported that another of the journalists who was wounded is also in critical condition.

It said Ihab al-Bardini was struck in the head by shrapnel, which exited through his eye.
