In a remarkable recognition of journalistic bravery, Fadi Al-Waheedi, a cameraman based in Gaza for Al Jazeera, has been honored with the 2025 “Youth for Committed Journalism” award by the Spanish online newspaper Infolibre. This accolade comes in light of Al-Waheedi’s extraordinary resilience: last October, while covering the war in Gaza, he sustained a serious gunshot injury to his neck—but has since continued his vital work despite the physical and emotional toll.
This prestigious award highlights Al-Waheedi’s unwavering dedication to frontline reporting amid extreme adversity. It also underscores the personal risks media professionals undertake to ensure that global audiences receive timely, on-the-ground coverage, even in the most dangerous conflict zones. His courage and commitment exemplify the essence of journalism under fire—where telling the truth becomes an act of defiance and resilience.
The recognition by Infolibre not only celebrates Al-Waheedi’s individual contribution but also brings global attention to the broader challenges faced by journalists working in conflict-ridden environments. By spotlighting his bravery, this award reaffirms the vital role of committed media practitioners in delivering stories that matter, no matter the dangers involved.
