Photojournalist Ahmed Abu Hussin , who was gravely injured last Friday while documenting the March of Return, succumbed to his wounds Wednesday afternoon, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said.
25-year-old Abu Hussin was working as a photojournalist for a local news agency upon graduation from high school.
Abu Hussin was shot in the stomach by an Israeli sniper, despite the fact that he was stationed at a permissible distance from the border fence. On Sunday, two days after he was shot, Israel gave Abu Hussin permission to get to a hospital in Ramallah, where he could receive medical treatment.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said, in a statement PNN received, that Israeli occupation authorities and their leaders are fully responsible for this ongoing crime against journalists.
