The only way for almost all people in Gaza to escape the horrors of the war is by leaving via Egypt

And that is often a complicated & expensive ordeal, involving the hefty payments to an Egyptian firm that can get Palestinians on an approved travel list https://t.co/6nI9365lGy

2/2 Since the start of the war, their jobs have become among the most dangerous in Gaza, but also among the most important.

1/2 Some 50 engineers and technicians at Paltel, one of two Palestinian cell service providers in Gaza, have been crisscrossing the enclave to reinstate service in neighborhoods that have been plunged into blackouts for days and even weeks.

3/3 For @NewYorker, I wrote about Halabi and other Palestinians in Gaza experiencing displacement, hunger and loss.

🧵 1/3 I recently asked Khalil el-Halabi, the father of a well-known Palestinian prisoner, if he hoped for his son to be released in the event that talks btwn Israel & Hamas lead to more swaps.

He responded: “I swear to God that I don’t want my son to be liberated in this way."

[Adam Rasgon @adamrasgon]

2/3 “Mohammed is a humanitarian, and he wouldn’t accept what happened," Halabi said, referring to his son Mohammed and Hamas's October 7 attack.

In rare public criticism of Hamas, Halabi, a seventy-year-old retired UN official, called the militant group's assault “unacceptable".
