Life Under Siege
Last Thursday night Jihad Abu Ajour, a young woman living down the road from me, gave birth to her first child in her home in Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem. The Israeli Army was refusing to allow ambulances to approach the camp. Ms. Abu Ajour's baby was not breathing properly. Hours later an ambulance finally came to take the baby to the hospital, where he died soon after. Later, under the night curfew and the threat of snipers, the two grandfathers and the father sneaked out of the camp to the nearby cemetery to bury the baby.
