Behind the social media narrative about Gaza lies the reality of the price of freedom and the businesses that profit from suffering. Gazans pay a high price to evacuate, with Hala Travel monopolizing the business under the patronage of Ibrahim al-Argany and his close ties to the Egyptian president’s family. They control the movement of people and the distribution of aid through the Sons of Sinai company. Before the war, travel costs were no more than $300 per person. However, since the outbreak of conflict, prices have skyrocketed to $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child. Every day, Hala Travel ferries 200 to 300 people, making up to $2.4 billion a day. Ibrahim al-Argany’s close ties to Mahmoud al-Sisi, the eldest son of the Egyptian president, give Hala Travel an extraordinary privilege. Sons of Sinai controls the distribution of aid and goods to the Gaza Strip, with an unrivaled monopoly. Any international aid entering through Rafah must go through the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC), which then passes it on to the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS). The warehouse where the ERC supplies aid is stored is owned by al-Argany, creating a monopoly that exacerbates the suffering of Gazans. Complicated procedures have caused aid to pile up and become unusable in the ERC warehouse. Expensive medical equipment, walking aids, wheelchairs and other essential items have been left unused in the warehouse. The situation in Rafah has worsened following Israeli air and ground attacks, with aid access completely blocked. Meanwhile, 1.3 million refugees live in uncertainty, waiting for aid that never arrives. Gaza is now a humanitarian crisis worthy of being called genocide. #OpenYourEyes #BeUnderstand #Narasi (Narasi) Don't forget to subscribe, leave comments and share this video.
