The Company Making Millions by Taking Palestinians Out of Gaza
(Sunday Times-UK) Venetia Menzies - A private Egyptian company, alleged to have strong links in the past to the state, has made a lucrative business out of ushering several hundred Gazans across the border into Egypt each day. Hala Consulting and Tourism charges adults upwards of $5,000 to flee, with those under 16 paying $2,500. Analysis by the Sunday Times of the daily lists to enter Egypt suggests that the company may have made at least $88 million since the beginning of March from evacuating more than 20,000 people. At the start of April, the number of names on these lists increased from 295 to 475 daily, boosting the average daily revenue from a minimum of $1.25 million to $2 million.
