The Gaza health ministry said Israeli forces are stealing organs from the bodies of people killed in field executions.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Dr. Ashraf A-Qudra, the spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry, said up to 100 bodies at a time are often returned to Gaza from lsrael and buried without being identified, which he said is devastating for families who do not know the fate of their missing relatives.

A-Qudra said bodies are taken from Gaza to an unknown location in Israel, where their organs are stolen or their bodies are used for medical research. The bodies are then returned to Gaza either decomposed or missing organs.

Cairo, Egypt 2024 🌿

"The Palestinian ambassador in Egypt:

Between the beginning of the war through the end of March, 85 thousand Palestinians left Gaza for Egypt.

On average, 700 people leave Gaza per day for Egypt through the Rafah crossing."

##

If we do the calculation of the income of the "coordinating" company for leaving Gaza, it goes like this:

5,000 dollars per head to coordinate an exit times 85,000 people, a little more than 400 million dollars came out... someone is earning huge sums here.

Egyptian security forces dispersed a Gaza solidarity protest outside the headquarters of UN Women in Cairo on Tuesday and detained several activists who took part, according to local media and activists.

Police forces detained most of the protesters, including Mahienour el-Masry, Lobna Darwish, Rasha Azab, Ragya Omran, Mai el-Mahdy, Israa Yusuf and Farida al-Hifny, according to Egyptian activist Ahmed Douma.

During the demonstration, the protesters read a letter addressed to the UN agency for gender equality and women's empowerment, condemning the human rights violations and war crimes affecting women in Gaza and Sudan as a result of the conflicts there.

"Dear UN Women, we are a group of Egyptian women appalled by the atrocities committed against our sisters in Gaza as a result of the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian people since 7 October," the letter read.

"We are also appalled by the failure of the UN to protect the two peoples from the ongoing war crimes, especially sexual crimes, and in particular equivocating between the victims and culprits," it added.

The letter accused UN Women of "discriminating against women in Gaza and Sudan" by failing to stand up for them. It also called on the UN agency to carry out investigations into alleged sexual crimes and war crimes against women in the affected areas. Middle East Eye has contacted UN Women for comment.

The police action on Tuesday is not the first time protesters in Egypt have been detained for taking part in protests about Gaza. Egypt has effectively banned protests since President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi came to power over a decade ago, and security forces routinely suppress any anti-government activity.

Security forces have detained dozens of pro-Palestine protesters since 20 October, when thousands took part in a rally in Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square, which was the epicentre of the revolution that culminated in the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Following the crackdown on that gathering, protests have been smaller in size and have been quickly dispersed by security officials.

On 30 November, four international activists were detained and held incommunicado for over 27 hours, following a pro-Palestine protest outside the Egyptian foreign ministry in Cairo.

They had staged a rally to demand security clearance for the Global Conscience Convoy, a humanitarian convoy into Gaza planned by Egypt's Journalists' Syndicate, to deliver badly needed aid. Security forces also dispersed a women's pro-Palestine protest in Cairo on 8 March, which coincided with International Women's Day. On 4 April, authorities detained at least 10 protesters at a vigil outside the Journalists' Syndicate in Cairo, denouncing the Egyptian government's role in the siege on Gaza

Im thinking a whole lot about Osiris, Ra and Horus. Like a lot a lot. My chest flutters when I think on their names. Horus the avenger of the Gods. Osiris conquerer of death. Ra ruler of Heaven and life.

I am very very new to my new found interest in Kemetic religion. I found myself absolutely devouring the Egyptian book of the Dead and becoming more and more deeply interested in these three, especially Horus. Now I’ve been seeing them everywhere, especially Ra and Horus, in random conversations, tv shows, and even other books.

I feel the strength and intense energy of Horus every time I say his name lately, I can feel his father Osiris looking out on us alongside his son, and I can feel the stinging eyes of Ra through the morning sun, feel it shifting throughout the day. I’ve never felt so strongly towards a sun deity before. I actually haven’t felt this drawn towards energies like this since Lucifer. I found myself humming syllables of the name Atum Ra through my chest in the evenings as I watched the sun set.

Perhaps it’s time to ask Mother Isis how to best honour her family.

Despite the traitorous coordination and normalization efforts of the Arab regimes, the people remain dedicated to Palestine.
