the Salman lives in the West Bank with her husband Steve Sosebee-founder of an ambulance is called Relief Fund NGOs and Palestinian children two sons 2:13 Salman spoke to TIME about what is the holy month of Ramadan, as described was lockdown in the Palestinian Territories . We live in the Holy Land, in Ramallah, right next to a mosque. The mosques are all now closed, even if you feel the call to prayer throughout the day. But this time he shouted the words of the speaker are different and it seems to me every time I hear it. Instead say in prayer in Arabic, say, come, pray in your home. The call to prayer something I heard all my life and it’s so natural for Muslims. The first time I ever heard this new version is coming the goose bumps because I thought the waiting time, you can not change. The Palestinian territories are already dealing with the occupation by Israel, three generations worth of people living in refugee camps and now we have to consider the crown pandemic. We just do not have to meet the resource when the crown is widespread. There are only about 100 beds of intensive care throughout the West Bank and not enough fans, either. This is probably why the government acted quickly and aggressively. to close shortly after an epidemic among a group of religious tourists and hotel employees in Bethlehem, the authorities moves throughout the West Bank, the two schools and workplaces formwork. Fortunately, it seems to have so far been relatively spared. The government attached here to a better response than the US It ‘strange to see the difference between the two places where they are usually health disparities around the opposite. (I moved to strengthen health systems here from New York a few years ago to help.) I’m not an intensive care physician or the emergency room, so they are not faced with the crown vorderster deal. But because so many services, including clinics have closed, I did a lot of general pediatrics work to relieve some of the burden on the health system. People are afraid to go to the emergency room now. The health system is already stretched thin here, even without a global pandemic. I’m working, and for the most part from home a lot to do tele calls. A couple of times a week, I saw children generally sick to move, but take precautions. I have a N95 mask and a pair of wearing scrubs that just undressing come through the door. I immediately take a shower before having contact with his family. This year is such a big exception. Usually, people break the fast in groups. If you have to share the struggle and the experience of fasting of Ramadan pause in a mosque or in somebody else’s house, there is a collective sense that they can be with people. I do not know how important the community so strong until this year, when he was taken from us during Ramadan. Our 2-year-old daughter is completely unaware of the current situation, but it is the first year that our 13 years daughter wants to fast the whole month. I was at low pressure with her, but she takes the initiative on their own, say they want quickly and ask what time they wake up to the needs of the meal before dawn. It was not easy. It’s hot here. to be at home without distractions might be harder on them, because they do not talk to their friends about fasting, as often as they would if they were still in school. However, if you hear the prayer for release next call to us all of us gather around a table. Our worries melt away when we have the first bite or that first sip of water. I met my husband in 2013 at a fundraiser in the United States for its Ong [Palestine Children’s Fund]. It turns out, had just built clinic for children’s cancer in the West Bank in the same year. I started medical missions and turn the visit to the Palestinian territories or twice a year and then we got married and I went with him to the Palestinian territories in 2016. When the blockade began in the West Bank, my husband and I stopped us in returning home were in the uS because we both work mostly from home and schools were out. But we must remain conscious decision. We know that health systems are weak here. We are aware that we have a responsibility here. We both work in the health system. We are fortunate, in good health and to be busy. We feel if we had something to offer, we have to offer. -As said Mansoor Sanya Picture copyright by Dr. Salman Zeena
