A Palestinian cancer patient stuck in Egypt for two years returns to Gaza
AI Summary
A Palestinian woman named Mariam al-Najjar has returned to Gaza after being stuck in Egypt for nearly two years due to Israel's control of the Rafah crossing. The 72-year-old was seeking cancer treatment when she traveled to Egypt in March 2024, just months into Israel's war that has killed over 72,000 people. Her family had been waiting anxiously at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis for her return. With the United States-brokered "ceasefire" coming into effect in October, the Rafah crossing was partially reopened earlier this month, allowing Mariam to rejoin her family. However, Israel has imposed severe restrictions on travel and security checks, making it difficult for Palestinians to enter or leave Gaza. The al-Najjar family is finally reunited with their matriarch, bringing an end to a two-year separation.
