Wednesday May 16th, 2:05 pm. Noura’s humanitarian trip was fast approaching and her preparation was almost done. Rami, her brother, had sent another message. He was impatient to see her again. However their communications were becoming more and more difficult and sporadic. The situation in the city where Rami and his mother lived was getting worse by the day: there were daily power outages due to air raids conducted by the enemy on generating plants out of town. Food and water was frequently in short supply.  Rami had been out of work for 3 months, since the border had been closed, and the car repair shop where he was working was located on the other side. He and his mother had been struggling to live. Yesterday, Rami had been caught downtown in a riot that was violently repressed by the occupating army. For Rami and the youth of his country, the hope of a better life was slowly vanishing away.
