For Sick and Wounded Gazans, a Rare Path to Safety
A small number of people are allowed to evacuate.
The New York Times Magazine

December 21, 2024

This week, the magazine covered the difficult path out of Gaza for those who need medical treatment.

The Times Magazine reporter Nicholas Casey went on a rare evacuation flight to try to understand what it takes to leave. →

Our print cover features a photograph of Maram Qassim, 5 years old, and her mother. After an airstrike, Maram was believed to be dead until she squeezed her mother’s hand. She recovered her sight and some of the movement she lost in the attack while in the United Arab Emirates.

In a black and white photo, a woman holds a child in her arms. Text reads: "Escape From Gaza: The war is nearly impossible to flee — except for a small number of sick and wounded who are offered a dramatic path to safety. Photographs by Paolo Pellegrin. Text by Nicholas Casey."
