A member of a team supporting a Canadian-Palestinian man documenting humanitarian efforts during the Israel-Hamas war says loved ones have lost contact with the citizen journalist in Gaza.

Mansour Shouman was last heard from last Sunday around 4 p.m., Zaheera Soomar said.

“Initially, we didn’t think anything of it because even in the days preceding that, there were times when he didn’t message us immediately because he couldn’t get to a hot spot,” said Soomar, who is based in Canada.
