International investigators have opened an investigation into an organization called "Al Majd Europe" after it organized flights from the Gaza Strip to South Africa amid suspicions of human trafficking under the guise of humanitarian work, according to a video report by Al Jazeera English. The report revealed that the organization arranged a flight on November 13 to transport 153 Palestinians from Gaza to Johannesburg, at a time when the sector is suffering from a suffocating siege and difficult humanitarian conditions, and this was the second flight in two weeks. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said that his country was surprised by the flight, adding that these people were transported mysteriously via Nairobi to Johannesburg, and confirmed that his country decided to receive them despite not having official documents out of mercy and compassion, according to "Al Jazeera Net." The investigation indicated that the organization operates a website registered in Iceland that offers what it calls "humanitarian evacuation," and accepts donations only through digital currencies, which makes it difficult to track its sources of funding. It was also found that the published photos of people supposedly being executives were made using artificial intelligence, raising further doubts about its credibility. The report confirmed that the investigations are currently focusing on whether these flights were used to transport people illegally, exploiting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting the challenges facing regulators in monitoring organizations operating in conflict zones using advanced digital tools such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies. This file comes amid growing concerns about the exploitation of humanitarian crises for suspicious purposes, amid the absence of effective international oversight of some entities operating under the guise of relief work, raising questions about the responsibility of states and organizations to ensure that aid reaches those who truly deserve it.
