Gazans left stranded abroad by Israeli-Palestinian standoff

Gazans left stranded abroad by Israeli-Palestinian standoffFor the last four months, Ahmed al-Kurdi, his wife and three children have been stranded in Jordan, where they traveled from their home in the Gaza Strip for life-saving medical treatment for his 2-year-old daughter. At a time when the coronavirus pandemic has led to border closures and travel restrictions, they find themselves stuck, not because of quarantine measures, but because of a dispute between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians had hoped to pressure Israel by forcing it to assume more of the burden of its half-century occupation of the territory.
