The Divorce Dilemma in Gaza: When Survival Trumps Justice The conflict in Gaza has taken a devastating toll on civilians, eroding the rule of law.
A recent report highlights the plight of Palestinian women seeking divorce, who are often forced to sacrifice their rights for expediency's sake due to an overwhelmed and war torn justice system.
Over 8,700 divorce cases have been handled by the courts since the beginning of the war, according to Sheikh Hassan al Jojo, head of the Supreme Council of Sharia Judiciary in Gaza.
