An Al Jazeera journalist has died after being badly injured during an Israeli attack in southern Gaza and then forced to wait five hours for medical attention, the network said, Paralel.Az reports citing CNN.

Camera operator Samer Abu Daqqa died of wounds sustained in the attack, the Qatar-based network said, adding that he was bleeding for hours before medical personnel could reach him due to heavy shelling in the city.

Al Jazeera correspondent Wael Dahdouh was also injured in the attack, the Qatar-based news network said in a statement to CNN on Friday.

Al Jazeera said it did not have further information about Abu Daqqa’s injuries due to poor telecommunications in the area.

Abu Daqqa and Dahdouh were on assignment in the southern city of Khan Younis when they came under fire. Daddouh later said they had been hit by a drone strike.
