A peace activist who was shot by Israeli forces in Gaza last month is being flown back to Britain.
Tom Hurndall, who is originally from Tufnell Park, north London was shot in the head. The 22-year-old suffered severe brain damage and is in a coma.
Mr Hurndall was injured on April 11 while photographing the work of the international Solidarity Movement (ISM) in Rafah.
A campaign had raised funds to have the photographer brought home. He is expected to arrive today and be taken to the Royal Free Hospital in London.
