CNN’s Michael Holmes reports on the Gaza cameraman who recorded the death of his own brother. Recording the tragedy at the hospital was his brother, freelance cameraman Ashraf Mashharawi. His brother, Mahmoud and his 14-year-old cousin Ahmad, had been allowed to play on the roof after days of being cooped up inside as Israel continued its assault on Gaza. Both boys died after the rocket hit. Mashharawi filmed the doctors’ efforts to save his brother’s life at the hospital; he also captured images of relatives cradling the boy wrapped in a white sheet after his death. Why? Because he said his family wanted the world to see the human toll of the conflict.
