Gaza Reporter Appeals Hamas Prison Sentence and Fine
(AP) Fares Akram - Gaza journalist Hajar Harb appealed a six-month prison term and fine Tuesday over her reporting on alleged corruption within the Hamas-run Health Ministry. She reported in 2016 that healthy people were paying doctors to issue medical referrals to hospitals abroad. Last year, Harb was fired from a local media production company after another investigation piece raised suspicion that Hamas authorities gave donated housing units designated for the poor to ineligible beneficiaries.
