Journalist’s final images show the Gaza hospital stairwell where she was killed by an Israeli strike

The last photos taken by #MariamDagga show the damaged stairwell outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip where she would be killed by an Israeli strike moments later.

Dagga, a visual journalist who freelanced for Associated Press, was among 22 people, including five reporters, killed Monday when Israeli forces struck Nasser Hospital twice in quick succession.

Algeria’s ambassador to the United Nations, his voice breaking and on the verge of tears, read a letter Wednesday to the U.N. Security Council addressed to Dagga’s 13-year-old son, Gaith, who left #Gaza at the start of the war to live with his father in the United Arab Emirates.

“Ghaith. You are the heart and soul of your mother,” Bendjama quoted Dagga as writing. “When I die, I want you to pray for me, not to cry for me.”
