Activities

During the Battle of Mosul, Ramsay was directly next to an ISIL VBIED which exploded while he and his cameraman were recording footage from an Iraqi drone dropping grenades onto ISIL positions. They were unharmed, however upwards of 20-30 Iraqi soldiers may have been killed, as well as multiple vehicles including a Humvee and a main battle tank being destroyed.

In March 2020, he was the first tv journalist to report from inside a hospital hard hit by Italy's coronavirus pandemic, conducting his video tour of a badly overcrowded hospital while wearing a full-body hazmat suit.[4] The news report won the British Journalism Awards 2020 for best "Foreign Journalism"; the judges said Ramsay’s coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy was “a very brave piece of reporting which will have changed a lot of peoples’ thinking” and “the story that brought the impact of coronavirus close to home”. They said his “storytelling was fantastic” and his reports “whacked the audience between the eyes and woke Britain up to how serious this pandemic was”.[5]
