Analysis by Yara M. Asi documenting Israel's systematic restrictions on medical evacuations from Gaza and the West Bank, arguing that Israel's control over Palestinian movement is effectively a tool of ethnic cleansing. The piece covers the near-total destruction of Gaza's medical sector, the closure of the Rafah border crossing, the deaths of patients awaiting medical evacuation, and escalating movement restrictions and banning of humanitarian personnel across the West Bank. Asi situates these restrictions as part of a larger overarching project to displacement and land seizure. This piece is valuable for research on public health in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, humanitarian access, Israeli movement restrictions, ethnic cleansing, and Palestinian displacement.
