The 24-year-old photojournalist for the Sawt Al Shaab Radio, who was shot on 13 April by Israeli snipers while covering mass protests near Jabalia in northern Gaza, succumbed to his wounds.
Hussein was the second journalist killed by Israeli forces in one month while covering the “March of Return” protests following the killing of fellow journalist Yasser Murtaja earlier in the same month.
He was shot in the stomach, according to media reports quoting the Health Ministry in Gaza.
