Israel has threatened Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza - Youmna ElSayed - telling her and her family to leave their home, or risk being killed.
Youmna ElSayed’s husband received the call on Monday and was told to flee Gaza City and head south, even though there are no safe routes out of the area.
On Tuesday, the family of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, was killed in an air strike.
He lost his wife, son, daughter and grandson.
In a statement, Al Jazeera said it “condemns the Israeli threat” towards ElSayed and her family.
“This vile threat comes only a few days after the indiscriminate killing of the family of Al Jazeera Arabic’s journalist, Wael al-Dahdouh, who were asked to move south before being bombed,” it said.
In response to threats from Israeli forces received by Al Jazeera’s Youmna ElSayed, who remains in Gaza City, the UN Secretary-General’s spokesperson has said that journalists in Gaza had to be protected.
