An 18-year-old in Alexandria, Egypt who is a student with Youth Journalism International, Yasser Alaa, was taking pictures of a demonstration on Nov. 22 when police opened fire with tear gas. In the tumult, he fell, fainted and woke to find his camera stolen and a body lying nearby with his head split open. He is recovering from the trauma at home now, but needs a new camera. He is a fine young photographer. We hope people will help him get one.
