British cameraman’s family gets $2 million

~

Israel paid more than $2 million to the family of a British cameraman shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Gaza.

In May 2003, James Miller, 34, was in the Gaza-Egypt border town of Rafah shooting footage for a documentary about the impact of violence on children in the region when he was shot and killed by Israeli gunfire.

Miller was posthumously awarded an Emmy in 2004 for his film, "Death in Gaza”.
