Wael al-Dahdouh transferred to Egypt for medical treatment

Wael al-Dahdouh, Al-Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief, has been transferred to Egypt to seek medical attention, local media reported on Tuesday. 

Egyptian authorities facilitated the transfer, following a request from the Egyptian journalists’ syndicate. 

The transfer comes after Israeli forces killed Dahdouh’s 27-year-old son, Hamza, in an air strike on a car in Rafah earlier this month. 

His wife, son, daughter and grandson were also killed by Israeli forces in October.
