Following the sudden death of photographer Khalid al-Misslam on Saturday, another tragedy has struck the media community covering the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
According to a local media outlet in the country, Al-Misslam, a Qatari journalist with Al Kass TV, collapsed while covering games on Saturday.
