The cruelest part of war is not always the bombs. Sometimes it is the people who learn how to profit from them.
One of the cases I have written about before involves a four-year-old boy whose entire family was killed during the war, except for his mother.
He lost his left leg and suffered severe abdominal injuries. Because of his condition, he was approved for urgent medical evacuation.
Then he waited more than seven months.
Last month, his mother received a call from the Ministry of Health informing her that his travel had finally been approved.
She rushed to the hospital, only to be told that the bus was leaving immediately and that she had to board at once if she wanted her son to travel.
The child's uncle had been listed as the approved companion on the referral. The mother had never planned to travel alone with a severely injured child to a foreign country.
But she was given a choice: Leave now, or lose the opportunity.
So she chose her son.
Later, she discovered that two strangers had boarded the bus as the child's "companions."
Not relatives. Not caregivers. Strangers.
And they traveled.
Three weeks ago, during my own attempts to leave Gaza, I was connected with someone who claimed he could arrange my departure through the medical evacuation system.
The price? 75,000 shekels.
The corruption surrounding medical evacuations in Gaza is not a rumor.
It is one of the worst-kept secrets here.
The names are known. The stories are known.
The complaints have reached senior officials.
And yet nothing changes. War creates many forms of suffering.
But this one feels particularly cruel. Because it turns wounded children, cancer patients, and desperate families into opportunities for profit.
People wait months for treatment while others allegedly buy their way onto evacuation lists.
Patients die while waiting. Others lose their chance entirely.
Imagine surviving bombs, displacement, and hunger, only to discover that your final obstacle is not the war itself, but the people who profit from it.
Perhaps that is the darkest part of all.
A wounded child sees a chance at treatment. A grieving mother sees hope.
And someone else sees a business opportunity.

#جنى_هاشم ممرضة كانت تحمل الحياة بيديها وتنتظر حياة أخرى تنبض في داخلها..
لم تكن تنتظر الموت كانت تنتظر لحظة اللقاء الأول، ابتسامة طفلها وصوته الذي لم يُكتب له أن يُسمع!
غارة غادرة سرقت منها الحلم فرحلت ورحل معها جنينها قبل أن يكتمل موعد أمومتها..
ألا لعنة الله على الظالمين💔
They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

دولت جنایتکار نتانیاهو بر سر چند روستا در جنوب لبنان بمب فسفری انداخته است. الان ساکنان آواره این روستاها نمیتوانند به خانههایشان در جنوب لبنان بازگردند. مستندات حاکی از رفتار بدوی ارتش اسرائیل در استفاده از فسفر سفید در روستاهای نبطیه، صور، خیام و یحمر است.
A small step, the smallest step, but it's a beginning.
Norway still has to answer this: how can a country that champions human rights, allow its vast sovereign wealth fund, one of the largest in the world, to invest in entities linked to an occupation the ICJ has found illegal?
X has removed the blue checkmark from the accounts of @IRIMFA, @araghchi, @IRIMFA_SPOX, @Gharibabadi.
This biased & political action continues the pattern of censorship, aims to silence the truth & the official voice of governments, & to instrumentalize digital credibility.
Thank you, Hezbollah.
Hind Rajab was killed by 335 bullets from the 52nd Battalion... And the commander of the 52nd Battalion is killed today in Lebanon. Justice comes, even if late."
🚨 In what appears to be a systematic targeting of community figures, Mr. Tarek Abu Saif, Director of the Hamamat Al-Salam Foundation, was killed in an Israeli strike that hit his vehicle in Gaza City two days ago.
His organization had contributed to rebuilding Al-Shifa Medical Complex, restoring university classrooms at Al-Aqsa and Al-Azhar, and establishing several schools across Gaza.
