Faking Doctors’ Notes to Escape Gaza War Zone

"The medical report details some worrying conditions: chronic dyspnea — a shortage of breath that could be a sign of heart or lung disease — and bronchial asthma. It says the patient, a 28-year-old woman from Gaza City, relies on “continuous medication” and an inhaler.
But the woman has neither affliction, nor an inhaler, although she said she was prone to coughing fits around smokers. What she does have is a work retreat she wants to attend in Morocco, and family in Europe she has not seen for ages." (thanks Nasser)
