Let this sink in. Right now, the waiting list for Palestinians in Gaza to seek medical treatment in Israeli hospitals is long and the denial list is getting even longer. Gaza has a barely functional healthcare system due to Israel’s blockade and siege. People who have cancer, injuries, or diseases that need urgent medical care are forced to apply for permits to get medical care in Israeli hospitals. Physicians for Human Rights reports that that Israel has rejected or ignored over 90% of applications of exit permits so far in 2021. They say that “this sweeping ban on patients’ leaving Gaza under the existing regulations is effectively a death sentence for many, a severe, agonizing death sentence.” Meanwhile, Yakov from Long Island can come freely and squat in a Palestinian family’s home.
