New Delhi: Journalists are often accused of being heartless professionals who are only concerned about doing their job while covering natural calamities, disasters, accidents and wars, such as the Israel-Palestine one raging at present. But hold on, death, destruction and devastation moves journalists too and can cause them mental and emotional turmoil. Recently, the video of a journalist reporting from Central Gaza went viral on the internet. She broke down in tears while reporting outside a hospital where several people had been injured.
A correspondent of China Global Television Network, Noor Harazeen, broke down on live television as she reported from outside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where “the numbers (of injured) are going up by the hour.” Harazeen appeared distressed in the now-viral footage while describing the situation of the women and children who are caught in the middle of the crisis. In the background, one can witness people rushing inside the hospital and incoming ambulances “full of children”. The journalist said that the situation is “undescribable” and looks like a “massacre”.
In the video, she said, “I have been reporting escalations on Gaza for years now and have not witnessed anything like that.”
The anchor asked Harazeen “to take a deep breath and stay safe”. She further asked her to seek shelter if she did not feel safe in the streets.
