Hamas accepting bribes to put healthy Gazans on emergency medical evacuation list - report

The article reports that according to The Telegraph, Hamas officials are allegedly accepting bribes to include healthy individuals on emergency medical evacuation lists from Gaza. Testimonies suggest that some Gazans obtain forged medical documents to claim severe injuries and gain access to medical care abroad. Families with genuinely ill relatives report that bribes have expedited their loved ones' placement on evacuation queues. The article highlights concerns about corruption within Hamas-run healthcare systems, noting that only a small fraction of those needing medical care are evacuated despite high casualties. It also references past reports of Gazans bribing Hamas and border guards to flee the territory. The Israeli military disputes the claim, stating that it has not imposed limits on evacuations.
