Travel restrictions are among the most incapacitating consequences of Israel’s military occupation — so extreme that the very idea of travelling has become a phobia for many. And if you’ve spent days in lockdown trying to get in and out of Gaza, as Emad Moussa has, you know how these fears prey on all Gazans.

Day in and day out, Mondoweiss brings you news of Palestinians’ struggles for human rights which is usually ignored by corporate media. That’s why it’s crucial that the information we publish is freely available to everyone, without subscriptions or paywalls. But we can only do this with your support. Today is the last day of our fall campaign. If you haven’t already done so, could you make a monthly gift today?
