Fox News’ Benjamin Hall doesn’t worry about near-fatal injuries when surrounded by wife, three daughters

Fox News foreign correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was severely injured while covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, is doing just fine – as long as he’s with his family.

Hall was wounded when the vehicle he was traveling in was struck by incoming fire in Horenka, outside Kyiv. His upcoming memoir, "Saved: A War Reporter's Mission To Make It Home," will offer untold details of his journey.

Hall has been through roughly 30 surgeries, lost a leg on one side and a foot on the other, and also no longer has function of a hand and one eye. But his wife, Alicia, and three daughters have given Hall the strength to keep going. 

"You know, I look at my injuries and I don't worry about them one bit, because I'm here with my family," Hall told PEOPLE in a touching feature published Wednesday.

Alicia, who also spoke to PEOPLE, explained the difficult situation she was in when it came to informing his daughters, who were only six, four and two years old at the time.

"I didn't want to tell the girls anything until we knew for sure that he would be OK," Alicia said. "I didn't want them to be worried that he'd had an accident and then not be able to give them any answers."

She eventually told them but initially only allowed Hall to speak to his children on the phone, so the girls wouldn't be troubled by Hall's physical condition. But Hall was determined to reunite with his daughters and thought of them when times were tough.

"When I was really low, I just tried to find one little piece of goodness… one little thing to help me get through it," Hall told the magazine.

Hall was sent home in August, just in time to celebrate his oldest daughter’s seventh birthday, and is thankful to be around to watch them grow up – which is exactly what he thought of in difficult times during his road to recovery. 

In fact, he previously revealed that seeing a vision of his three daughters gave him the strength to keep going immediately after the attack. 

"I look at the world now in a much more confident way," Hall told PEOPLE. "You could throw absolutely anything at me and I know that I'll get through it."

Beloved Fox News photojournalist Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra "Sasha" Kuvshynova were killed in the attack that devastated Fox News and the journalism industry at large. Hall was the only survivor. 

"I lost limbs and I'm badly injured, but they lost everything," Hall said. 

Alicia agreed, telling the magazine that "it would be selfish of Benji and I to wallow in self-pity when much worse has happened to many more people."

In January, Hall read an emotional excerpt of his upcoming memoir on "FOX & Friends," describing how "everything went dark" as bombs went off around him. 

"If I had the slightest iota of consciousness, it was a distant sense of shock waves and the feeling that every part of my body – bones, organs, sinew, my soul – had been knocked out of me," Hall read. "I was all but dead but improbably, out of this crippling nothingness, a figure came through, and I heard a familiar voice, as real as anything I’d ever known. ‘Daddy, you’ve got to get out of the car.’" 

"Saved: A War Reporter's Mission to Make It Home" will be available where books are sold on March 14. 

Diocese condemns Delaware bill requiring priests to break seal of confession: 'A clear violation'

The Delaware General Assembly is considering a bill that would require Roman Catholic priests to break the seal of confession to report child abuse and neglect, prompting condemnation from the Diocese of Wilmington.

House Bill 74, the sponsors of which include state Senate President Pro Tempore David P. Sokola, could be heard before the House Judiciary Committee within weeks, according to OSV News.

The Diocese of Wilmington condemned the proposed law, noting that priests are bound by the sacrament of reconciliation from breaking the seal of confession, according to the outlet. Catholic canon law mandates that a priest who violates the seal of confession is automatically excommunicated.

"The sacrament of confession and its seal of confession is a fundamental aspect of the church’s sacramental theology and practice. It is non-negotiable," the diocese said in a statement Monday.

CATHOLIC BISHOPS SOUND ‘ALARM’ ON EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT, SAYING IT WILL HURT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

"No Catholic priest or bishop would ever break the seal of confession under any circumstances. To do so would incur an automatic excommunication that could only be pardoned by the pope himself," the diocese continued. "It would be a clear violation of the First Amendment for the government to interfere in this most sacred and ancient practice of our faith."

"While we support initiatives to make Delaware a safer place for minors and vulnerable adults, HB 74 would not contribute to such efforts in any meaningful way," the diocese added.

The diocese, which noted its internal policies already require clergy to report suspected cases of child abuse to civil authorities, further argued that HB 74 would not only violate the religious right of clergy-penitent privilege, but could also lead to unintended consequences.

SUSPECT CONFESSES TO MURDER OF LA BISHOP, PROSECUTOR SAYS

In addition to violating a core tenet of the Catholic faith, the diocese said the legal obligation established by such a law would be impractical, given that most confessions are anonymous.

"The Diocese of Wilmington considers the protection of the vulnerable to be one of the most important aims of public policy," the diocese added. "However, this legislation would not advance that vital objective."

The Delaware bill mirrors similar bills introduced in Utah and Vermont that have also drawn criticism from Catholic leaders. Washington and Kansas are also in the process of implementing measures that would require clergy to be listed as mandatory reporters of child abuse or neglect.

Bishop Thomas Daly of the Diocese of Spokane, Washington, told the Washington Examiner last week that priests and bishops in the state would choose imprisonment over complying with a law that would force them to break the seal of confession.

"Priests and bishops will go to jail rather than break the seal of confession," Daly told the outlet. "I'm confident that the priests in [the Diocese of Spokane] and my brother bishops would do that, so sacred is that bond."
