A pro-Palestine protester set himself on fire outside the White House after he vowed to give his “left arm” to children in Gaza who had lost limbs during the Israel-Hamas war.
Pictures show police officers and bystanders rushing to help the man, who was identified as photojournalist Samuel Mena Jr., as his left arm became engulfed by flames.
Mr. Mena was taken to a hospital for treatment for his injuries, which were not life-threatening, according to DC Police Chief Pamela Smith.
Footage from the scene shows Mr. Mena screaming in pain as he holds his burning arm in the air while officers try to put out the fire with bottles of water.
