Abed Salama, a Palestinian father, lost his son Milad in a 2012 road accident in the West Bank. Nathan Thrall's book "A Day in the Life of Abed Salama" explores how security measures and bureaucratic obstacles, including a separation wall and military checkpoints, delayed emergency care for the victims. Thrall documents Abed's protracted search for his son and the impact of the Israeli occupation on Abed's life, including his failed attempts to attend college and his imprisonment and torture by the Israeli government. The book was awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction and was a finalist for the Orwell Prize for political literature.learn more on wikipedia
