❗️He spent months pulling people from the rubble, rescuing others from bombed homes, yet couldn’t save his own sister. Muhammad Yaqoub, a Civil Defense firefighter and rescue worker, lost his sister after she suffered complete kidney failure waiting for a medical evacuation at Nasser Hospital. Despite his desperate pleas, the Israeli occupation’s ongoing blockade prevented her medical evacuation, trapping her inside Gaza without treatment. Israel’s obstruction of medical transfers has become systematic, over 15,000 Palestinians, according to the World Health Organization, urgently require medical evacuation for life-saving treatment outside the Israeli-besieged Gaza Strip. His sister survived the airstrikes, only to die because of a closed crossing and a policy that turns medical treatment into another weapon of war. ziad_abd_ullhadi (IG)
