Watan-The significant interaction with Wael al-Dahdouh, the correspondent of Al Jazeera and its bureau chief in the Gaza Strip, continues among Palestinians, both young and old.
In a highly moving scene, a video circulated of a Palestinian girl in the Gaza Strip presenting a piece of bread to Dahdouh while he was in the broadcast tent affiliated with Al Jazeera.
The little girl offered the piece of bread to Wael al-Dahdouh, urging him to come to her and rise from his place to receive it.

wide interaction
The video has sparked widespread interaction among activists and Twitter users on social media platforms, particularly on the X platform.
One activist expressed, “Oh God, what beauty is this? We truly cry for our conditions; we weep for ourselves due to being deprived of what God has honored and chosen for you. Congratulations to you, people of Gaza, for the dignity, honor, and glory you will witness in this world. May you be elevated to the highest ranks in the gardens of bliss, for God does not waste the reward of the mujahideen. God does not waste the reward of the steadfast. God does not waste the reward of the benevolent.”
Mustafa Hafez wrote, “May our Lord soften your hearts towards each other, O Lord. You are the steadfast, you are the victorious, God willing.”
Wajd wrote, “My heart, may God protect it.”
Waleed expressed his reaction, saying, “Who is this man loved by young and old? Every time I see him, my eyes tear up.”
A moving video of Wael al-Dahdouh with a child requesting to appear with him
A few days ago, a touching video of Wael al-Dahdouh with a child surfaced shortly before his live appearance on air. Wael al-Dahdouh was preparing to go live on Al Jazeera when the child approached him, hugged him, and asked to appear with him.
The child addressed Wael al-Dahdouh, saying, “We want to go on air.” The girl responded, “Can you come on air with me?” Wael al-Dahdouh told the child, “I hope it works… wait for me here when I finish.”
The French newspaper “Le Monde” published a report on Wael al-Dahdouh, who represents one of the prominent voices expressing the Palestinians amid the brutal war waged by the occupying forces in the region. The newspaper stated that Wael al-Dahdouh has become the voice of the oppressed in the sector, insisting on performing his journalistic duty despite the martyrdom of his wife, family members, and the harsh conditions he faces due to continuous Israeli airstrikes.
