An Al Jazeera journalist returned to work today reporting from Gaza, just a day after members of his family were killed in an Israeli air strike on a Palestinian refugee camp.

In a video posted by AJ+, Wael Dahdouh said it was his "duty" to return to work quickly despite the loss of several family members.

"It was my duty to return to work as soon as possible, no matter what, " said Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief. Wael al-Dahdouh explained why he returned to work the day after his family was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their home.

"As you can see, the shooting continues everywhere," the Gaza office chief said, pointing to smoke from an airstrike in the background. Airstrikes and shelling continue unabated.

On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike hit the Nusseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing several Palestinians, among them his 44-year-old wife Amna, 16-year-old son Mahmoud, 7-year-old daughter Sam and grandson Adam.

Eight other family members were also killed, including his cousin's daughter, Hadeer, and her four children.
