However, this mechanism did not work for Samah*, who has tried to use the link to submit a request to the Foreign Ministry to evacuate her sister and her sister’s children from Gaza since early December. But their names have not appeared on the lists. Samah tells Mada Masr that she visited the ministry multiple times to inquire about the status of her requests. Eventually, one of the employees there told her that the matter is in the hands of the General Intelligence Service, and that she should contact them. Determined, Samah actually went to the intelligence body’s headquarters and spoke with an official over the intercom at the building’s gate, but he denied responsibility for the matter. In the end, as stories began to spread of people who managed to leave Gaza after paying for coordination services, Samah realized that “we have to pay a bribe to get our names on the lists.” What Samah describes as a “bribe” is what is otherwise known as “coordination fees.” For Egyptian passport holders, the cost can go up to US$650 for individuals over 16 years old and $325 for those under 16. Samah could not afford this, and so her sister and her children remain trapped in Gaza.

In contrast, Latif*, a Palestinian living in the UAE, managed to secure the evacuation of his Egyptian wife and her mother from Gaza. The cost for coordinating their exit was $650 per person, paid to Hala, the company owned by Ibrahim al-Argany. Once Hala received the money, their names were added to the Egyptian coordination lists, and they were evacuated in late December. The situation is different for Palestinians due to the lack of an official mechanism for their exit. Therefore, Latif was unable to evacuate his mother and siblings, who only have Palestinian paperwork, to join their father, who was stranded on the Egyptian side in Arish city. The father, a man in his 60s, entered Egypt through the Rafah crossing from Gaza with his newlywed daughter to see her off at the airport in Cairo as she was moving to Germany. On his way back to Gaza on October 7, Hamas launched its attack on Israel, dubbed the Aqsa Flood Operation, and the aggression on Gaza ensued.The crossing was closed and bombed multiple times, which left the father stranded in Arish. Without any money left, he is currently staying in a hotel with the help of good samaritans in the city who are covering his rent. About 40 kilometers away from Arish, behind the barrier separating the Gaza Strip from Sinai, the man’s wife and two daughters are living with his brother-in-law and his family in a tent in Palestinian Rafah. Despite losing everything he owned when the house he built “with the hard work of a lifetime,” as he put it, was bombed in Khan Younis, the father did not stop trying to evacuate his family from the strip and contacted coordination agents in early January. The agents, however, demanded $11,000 per person. This would come out to $33,000 for his wife and two daughters. The exorbitant amount is due to their status as Palestinians holding no other passport.

Hatje Cantz says:

Latif Al Ani who was the first to capture cosmopolitan life in Iraq in the 1950s to 1970s is known as the “father of Iraqi photography”. His black and white images represent a unique visual memory of the country during its belle époque. Al Ani presented the vivid Iraqi culture in its abundance and complexity: besides documenting the westernized everyday life, the political culture and industry, he also captured images of Iraq from the air for the Iraq Petroleum Company. However, under Saddam Hussein’s oppressive regime he ceased photographing. Today, his photographs give testimony to an era long gone. The exhibition at the Iraq Pavilion during the Venice biennale in 2016 focused on works from the early period of his career, showing both modernising trends and the retention of ancient traditions as themes of Al Ani’s work.

"Heroine of the Hijack."

Neerja Bhanot was born on 7 September 1963 in Chandigarh, India, and brought up in Bombay (now, Mumbai). After completing her graduation she was spotted for a modeling assignment which kick-started her modeling career. In 1985 she married a man named Naresh Mishra and went to the gulf to join him and set up a home together. But her husband inflicted domestic abuse upon her, she was starved of both food and finance to the point where she had to borrow money from her husband to call home. After just two months, she came back to Bombay to honor a modeling contract and refused to go back to her husband to endure any more of his abuse. In 1985 itself she applied for a flight attendant job in Pan Am and was among the 80 amidst 10,000 applicants who were selected. After selection, she went for training in Miami, Florida, and returned as Purser.

In the wee hours of 5th September 1985, just a day before her 23rd birthday she left home to attend her cabin crew duty in the Pan Am flight 73. She was appointed for the first time as the senior flight purser on the flight which was destined to fly from Mumbai to the United States via Karachi and Frankfurt. The aircraft was carrying 394 passengers, 9 infants, an All American flight crew, and 13 Indian flight attendants. The initial flight from Mumbai to Karachi was smooth. It was just before 06:00 and Pan Am Flight 73 was on a stopover in Karachi from Mumbai, scheduled to continue to Frankfurt, en route to New York.

But suddenly there was a commotion outside, four gunmen had sped onto the tarmac in a van disguised as airport security. One of them was carrying a briefcase brimmed with grenades. Just moments before gunfire was heard outside the aircraft, they had killed two Kuwait airlines staff members as they sped towards the airplane. The men entered the Boeing 747, firing shots into the air. A flight attendant named Nupoor saw them shoot near the legs of a colleague who was telling her to close the door but the terrorists stormed in before anyone could do so. The terrorists were planning on flying to Cyprus to free Palestinian prisoners there. They were members of the Abu Nidal organization a Palestinian terrorist organization backed by Libya; who were targeting Americans and American assets. As the seniormost cabin crew Bhanot who was out of sight of the gunmen took charge of the moment as soon as the hijackers boarded the plane, she relayed the hijack code to the three-member cabin crew who fled from the aircraft immediately through an overhead hatch. The pilots leaving the plane meant the aircraft was immobilized, preventing an incident similar to 9/11. The bravery which Bhanot displayed in alerting the pilots was highly commended.

The four hijackers were identified as Zayd Hassan Abd al-Latif Safarini (Safarini, alias "Mustafa"), Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim (alias "Fahad"), Muhammad Abdullah Khalil Hussain ar-Rahayyal ("Khalil"), and Muhammad Ahmed Al-Munawar (alias "Mansoor"). After about 40 minutes since forcefully boarding the aircraft, the four men were able to bring all the passengers under their grasp.

When the lead hijacker Safarini realized the pilots had escaped, he was forced to negotiate with authorities. At about 10:00 Safarini got hold of Rajesh Kumar, a 29-year-old Indian-American from California, who was recently declared an American. He was dragged up in front of the doorway of the aircraft and was made to kneel while holding his hands behind his back. Safarini negotiated with Viraf Daroga, the head of Pan Am's Pakistan Operation. He demanded that if the crew wasn't sent back to the aircraft within 30 minutes, he would shoot Rajesh. After some time he got impatient and grabbed Rajesh and shot him in the head. Safarini then threw the body outside the airplane. The personnel who collected Rajesh Kumar's body said he was still breathing but was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. The terrorists then ordered Bhanot to collect the passports of all the passengers so that they could identify more Americans on board. She and the other attendants under her charge hid the passports of the remaining 43 Americans on board, some under seats and the rest down a rubbish chute so that the hijackers could not differentiate between American and non-American passengers.

Eventually, the terrorists threatened the authorities demanding a pilot which if not obeyed, they would shoot a passenger every 15 minutes. During these unstable moments, the flight attendants came together, some tried to comfort the passengers around them, while the others took round sandwiches and Neerja distributed water.

The air conditioning and lights which were on and smoothly functioning all day started dwindling as evening set in, the lights got dimmer and the cool air stopped circulating. When the lights went out altogether, the terrorists knew there was no hope left of getting to Cyprus. After the 17 hour ordeal, atlast they positioned themselves on each side of the alley, let out a war cry and started an open fire. They also began throwing grenades, but due to the darkness they weren't able to pull the pins all the way through resulting in only some small explosions. Amidst this havoc, three exits were opened, one of them by Neerja and though she could have left the aircraft then and there, she didn't. Instead, she was seen helping the passengers to the emergency exits amidst the gunfire. She was shot in the abdomen, neck, and shoulder. Yet up till the very last moment, she was seen shielding three unaccompanied children when Safarini got hold of her and shot her dead, point-blank. At last, after continuous firing, the terrorists ran out of ammunition. Taking the chance, Pakistan Army's Special Services Group stormed in and seized the hijackers. Out of the 44 Americans, 42 were saved owing to Neerja's bravery.

In the aftermath, on July 6, 1988, the terrorists were convicted in Pakistan for the hijacking and murders and sentenced to death. The sentences were later commuted to life in prison. At the plea proceeding, Safarini admitted that he and his fellow hijackers committed the offenses as members of the Abu Nidal Organization, a designated terrorist organization.

Bhanot’s courage led to a slew of posthumous awards, including the Ashoka Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award. She was the first woman and youngest recipient of the award. To commemorate her, Bhanot’s family used the insurance funds from Pan Am to set up the Neerja Bhanot Pan Am Trust. The trust recognizes Indian women who overcome their difficult situations and rise up, and airline crew members who go beyond the call of duty. Among other honors, Bhanot was awarded the Tamgha-e-Insaniyat award by Pakistan, and in 2004, the Indian Postal Service released a stamp in her memory. In 2016, a film was made in her honor named "Neerja" which won the National award for the best feature film. Moreover, one of the children she saved that day now works in a major airline and considers Neerja his inspiration.
