It was one of the most horrible sights I’d encountered under the Israeli occupation. On the floor of a dim cave lay a good-looking young man, his very thin legs raised on a plastic chair, a phlegm drainage tube pipe stuck in his neck, his head wrapped in a towel, his eyes closed, a diaper on his loins. His father stood over him wiping the sweat from his face, his mother sat in the corner of the cave, her face said it all. He lay like that without moving, with no bed, no electricity and no running water – for two years. Two years and 43 days, to be precise.
