Y. Algazi, "In the narrow corridor of Sheba Hospital", Haaretz 18.2.04
Article about the difficulties faced by Palestinians whose children are hospitalized in Israel: They must obtain permits to enter and remain in Israel, even if for one day, in order to be with their sick children. To shorten checkpoint delays, most enter Israel with no personal effects and many, because of financial hardship, without cash. Families rely on Israeli volunteers who try to provide their needs. Parents must leave their ID at the hospital's entrance and refrain from leaving the hospital, even if they remain for days and weeks, for fear of being arrested as illegal aliens.
