Ahmed Al-Najjar, speaking from Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, has paid tribute to five Al Jazeera staff killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City, describing it as the most devastating loss the enclave’s journalist community has faced.

“It is still shocking. The shock hasn’t settled, not even close,” he told Al Jazeera. “I honestly say that for the first time, in 22 months, the Gaza journalist community has never been shaken this way before. We already witnessed [so much] over the past 22 months.”
