Book by Gaza victim being published

Tue Dec 14, 2010

A UK publisher has started a campaign to attract funds for the publication of the photos and writings of a UK journalist who died at the hands of the Israeli military.

An Israeli sniper killed human rights campaigner and photojournalist Thomas Peter Hurndall with a headshot in April 2003 in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. The victim was targeted while rushing to safety Palestinian children who had been too frightened by Israeli fire to move.

Independent publisher Trolley Books launched the eight-week-long fundraising initiative in late November, offering interested people the chance to buy the work, entitled The Only House Left Standing -- the Middle East Journals of Tom Hurndall in advance, the British Journal of Photography reported.

The book will feature the deceased's photographs and personal writings from his diaries and poems.

Following his injury, Hurndall's treatment was delayed for two hours at the border, reads his obituary published in the British daily The Guardian. He died in 2004, having spent nine months in a vegetative state.
