Molhem Barakat
Molhem Barakat was a child photojournalist who covered the Syrian Civil War for Reuters. He was killed in 2013 during the (ongoing) Battle of Aleppo.
Career
Barakat began working as a photojournalist for the Reuters news agency in May 2013.[1][2][3] His age in December of that year is quoted as 17 or 18, possibly making him a minor at the time.[1][2][3][4][5]
Death
Barakat was killed on 20 December 2013 during the battle to control the al-Kindi Hospital in Aleppo, Syria, alongside his brother, a Syrian rebel.[6][7][8] Reuters were widely criticized for sending an "inexperienced teenager" into a war zone.[3][9] A photograph of Barakat's bloodstained camera was distributed by the Aleppo Media Center.[4][5][9]
