Alarmed by rise in Gaza suicides, Palestinians blame Hamas, PA
2020-07-05
[Jpost] Paleostinians took to social media to express outrage over the increase in suicide rates, with many holding Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and the PA responsible for the harsh economic conditions in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Suicide rates are increasing in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, Paleostinian sources said on Saturday after the death of three Paleostinians in separate incidents.
"It's genetic for Paleos"
Several other cases of attempted suicide have been reported in the Gaza Strip in the past few weeks, the sources said.

Sleman Alajoury, a 23-year old university graduate, did away with himself by shooting himself in the head. In his last post on Facebook, Alajoury wrote: "This is not a futile attempt. This is an attempt at salvation. Complaining to none other than God is a humiliation."

A Paleostinian journalist in the Gaza Strip said that Alajoury had been previously arrested several times by Hamas security forces because of his political activities.

Sufyan Abu Zayda, a senior Fatah official in the Strip, said that Alajoury "could not stand the state of loss, oppression, poverty, unemployment, and the absence of hope for a decent life."

Mahmoud Meri, an unemployed university graduate, commented: "The rule of the [Hamas] military in Gaza Strip is driving young people to commit suicide. Hamas is responsible because it has closed all the doors to the young people."

Also Saturday, 21-year-old Ibrahim Yassin died of wounds he sustained when he set himself on fire at the Shati refugee camp in the Gaza Strip last week. In the past four years, the Strip has witnessed several cases of self-immolations.

According to the sources, the self-immolation was due to economic hardship, despair and unemployment.

On Friday, another man from Shati camp, 24-year-old Ayman al-Ghul, reportedly jumped to his death from the fifth story of a building. It was not immediately clear why al-Ghul did away with himself.

Hours later, a 30-year-old woman, whose identity was not revealed, attempted to take her own life by hanging in the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. She was rushed to a local hospital, where she was reported to be at death's door.

The sources said that the woman was married to the son of Nour Abdel Latif, a leader of an bad boy Islamic Salafi group. The woman tried to kill herself after learning that her husband had married a second wife, they claimed.

Last month, another two suicide cases were reported in the Strip — both by jumping from tall buildings.

The Paleostinian Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) recently called on Hamas to prevent the recurrence of suicide cases in its detention centers. The appeal came after the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Interior announced on May 29 that Muaz Ahmad Abu Amra, 19, did away with himself by hanging himself inside his prison cell. Abu Amra is said to be the third Paleostinian detainee to commit suicide in a Hamas detention facility in the past three years.
