I brought the equipment to Tel Hashomer hospital, where Munir was hospitalized alone, while his wife and four children stayed behind in Gaza. I intended to visit with him, but Internal Medicine Ward 9 was closed to visitors due to the coronavirus pandemic. I stood outside the locked door and called Munir. He apologized and said he couldnโ€™t come to meet me, but afterย the guard objected to bringing the equipment inside, Munir came out to the hallway.

Munir is a handsome man, 52 years old, with delicate facial features and salt-and-pepper hair. Uncharacteristically, he had left hisย hospital pajama top half open. Tubes protruded from his shirt, connected to bags of liquid hanging from a stand that he pushed on wheels. He was thin but not worryingly thin. His voice and smile were weak. He thanked me for the things that Osama had persuaded him to request from us โ€“ toothpaste, razor blades, shampoo and dates โ€“ and promised to bring the infusion pump to our nephew.
