As the men prayed ahead of the funeral, grief and pride kept some of the teens’ friends silent and immobile. Photos by Nour OdehReporting on the death of children is never an easy task. It challenges your sense of professionalism and puts you face to face with the strongest of emotions; a mother’s inconsolable grief at the loss of her child.
On Sunday, I went through this unforgettable experience - four times.
It started out with news coverage of a funeral for 16-year-old Mohamad Qadus and his cousin Usaid - 18 years. They were shot dead by Israeli soldiers at the conclusion of a day of demonstrations in their small village of Iraq Burin.
The mood was so sombre; you could feel it walking around… Men silent and serious, women distraught and in tears.
