A Father's Desperate Race Against Time
The rain fell steadily that February morning in 2012 as five-year-old Milad Salama boarded his kindergarten bus, clutching treats his father Abed had bought him the night before. Hours later, Abed would find himself in a butcher shop when news of a horrific bus accident near Jaba checkpoint reached him. Abandoning his half-cut order, he raced toward the scene with his cousin Hilmi, his heart pounding with dread. What he discovered was nightmarish-a burned-out bus shell flipped on its side, the acrid smell of burned metal hanging in the air. His estranged cousin Ameen mentioned "burned bodies" with disturbing casualness, sending Abed spiraling into panic. What should have been a straightforward search for his son became an impossible maze of bureaucratic obstacles. Rumors swirled about where the injured children had been taken-a clinic in a-Ram? The fortified Rama military base? Ramallah Hospital? Or perhaps Hadassah in Jerusalem with its advanced burn unit? But Abed's West Bank ID card-that simple green document that defined the boundaries of his existence-prevented him from entering Jerusalem, where his son might be fighting for his life. Suddenly, the separation system that Palestinians grimly joked about over coffee became brutally personal. The colored ID cards, the checkpoints with young soldiers, the towering concrete walls-all stood as insurmountable barriers between a father and his possibly dying son. Every minute counted, yet Abed found himself trapped in a system designed specifically to limit his movement, forced to rely on others with different colored cards for help.
