Jerusalem's usually bustling Old City becomes a ghost town: Reporter's Notebook_我的网站
A | JERUSALEM -- It's a far cry from the usual hustle and bustle, so typical of Jerusalem's Old City.The steps of the Damascus Gate have been cleared out. Gone are the fruit and sumac vendors. And inside the Old City: rows and rows of shops have shut down."This is the worst days we've ever seen in our lives. Even when the corona[virus] was here it was better than this," said Adnan Jaffa, who runs the Jaffar Sweets shop. "Because of the war ... the situation. In five minutes we're going to close because there is nothing to do."For those who know the Old City, it's an eerie place to be. Even the Church of the Holy Sepulchre -- where Christ is believed to have been buried and resurrected -- was empty on Sunday but for a handful of worshippers. It felt like we were being given a private tour of one of the world's holiest and most visited sites.Ehab Barakat, who was cycling through the deserted Old City, was one of the few customers out there on the city's streets.Asked about the increasing tensions, he said: "We hope it will be quiet."He added, "This is the time to be united. One."But the latest cycle of violence has come has no surprise, he said."The new government of Israel … you would be stupid if you would not guess what is going to happen. And we are not stupid. We were just waiting for the time.""The people get so tied … like a balloon. With a lot of air inside. And then it will…"His English may have failed him -- but it seemed clear what he meant.Israeli police now stand at the entrance to the Damascus Gate, occasionally searching young men. Orthodox Jews occasionally wander through the Old City to worship at the Western Wall. But there is none of the fervour which people associate with Jerusalem. It's been replaced by a strange quiet.In the words of Abushadi Sinjlawi, another shopkeeper we found closing early for the day, "The city is under lockdown."But away from the eerie quiet and melancholy atmosphere in the Old City, the situation is tense. Jerusalem is said to be the most heavily policed city in the country, and that will likely remain the case as the war in the south rages on.Checkpoints have been set up across East Jerusalem. And videos are spreading online appearing to show the harassment of Palestinians at the hands of the police. Cars are being stopped and searched. There are videos of apparent police beatings. In sporadic, individual incidents where locals have clashed with police, the response appears to have been brute force.Already at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in East Jerusalem and the West Bank since the war broke out -- that's more than the highest ever monthly total since the UN began keeping records in 2005.。
180 iron nails and other foreign objects, including coins, screws, nuts and magnets have recently been removed by doctors at a hospital in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province from a local man’s stomach after he sought treatment for repeated vomiting and abdominal pain, Yunnan Daily reported on Sunday.
The man’s family took him to The Third People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province for examination. Imaging scans revealed a large mass of metal objects in the man’s abdomen, which had clumped together, distended his stomach and caused it to drop downward, according to the report.
The nearly three-hour surgery on Friday removed foreign objects weighing more than 1 kilogram, including a nail nearly 10 centimeters long.
According to Li Wei, chief physician from the hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department at the hospital, the patient’s stomach was covered with ulcers and erosions, but fortunately the nails did not perforate the stomach or enter the intestines. The magnets may have caused the nails to clump together, with some nails becoming magnetized. The patient is recovering well and remains in stable condition.
Doctors at the hospital have previously treated patients who swallowed nails, wires and lighters, but this was their first case involving 180 nails.
The man’s family members told Jimu News, a news portal under Hubei Daily, that he had a long history of mental illness and nobody knew why he swallowed so many nails.
Li warns that people should not assume that small swallowed objects will pass on their own, particularly when they are metal or sharp. Such objects can become lodged in narrow sections of the digestive tract and cause injuries or perforation, potentially leading to peritonitis and life-threatening complications.
