Gaza woman’s plans to study abroad foiled by Hamas ‘guardian’ law​

Afaf al-Najar was turned away from the Rafah crossing because her estranged father filed a petition to block her from traveling to Turkey to attend university​

The 19-year-old won a scholarship to study communications in Turkey, secured all the necessary travel documents and even paid $500 to skip the long lines at the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

But when she arrived at the border on Sept. 21 she was turned back — not by Israel or Egypt, which have imposed a 14-year blockade on the Gaza Strip — but because of a male guardianship law enacted by the Islamic militant group Hamas, which rules the territory.

Gazans call to execute Hamas captain for raping his 4-year-old niece​

"We do not want to liberate Palestine, we want a death penalty law"​

A four-year-old was raped by her 35-year-old uncle in the city of Rafah in Gaza Strip, according to reports published on Friday.

The child’s mother discovered her daughter was sexually assaulted after she suffered severe bleeding and had to be urgently hospitalized, Alquds newspaper quoted an unnamed source. The source said that medical reports stated the child was raped by an adult and investigations were immediately launched.

Security forces discovered that the uncle was the rapist after the child kept repeating his name and saying that he had locked her inside a room. According to the source, the rapist was arrested after investigations confirmed his guilt.




Friday evening, the child’s father (and brother of the rapist) issued a statement asking people on social media to stop posting about the crime saying that he has gone through enough and reading about the story on social media makes it even more difficult.

Alquds reported that the father voiced his rejection over the involvement of his name or his daughter’s name in any political disputes, considering that the offender works in one of the security services in Gaza.

The family of both the victim and the perpetrator issued a statement disowning the rapist and his acts as well as asking not to be associated with such a crime.

For his part, Ahmed Majdalani, Minister of Social Development in Ramallah, demanded the necessity of speeding up the punishment of the perpetrator.
