How did a 14-year-old Palestinian girl who has never set foot in the open-air prison of Gaza find herself being dumped there by Israeli officials – alone, at night and without her parents being informed? Ghada’s story, like Ahed Tamimi’s and the African refugees’, is the story of the indifference that is created by an occupation machine.
Treating Israeli waste outside Israel, with less stringent regulations, lower costs, and higher risks: just another example of Israel’s ongoing exploitation of a powerless occupied population.
