3 ר‡ל ˘ - י ˜ ון ‡ייז ˙ נ ˘ 2024 The next day, October 7th, as she was getting ready to go back to the hospital, it became clear that Israel is at war. On October 8th, the return to the hospital was an encounter with a different world. Between the struggle for her health and the unbelievable reality of the hospital, our family, which has been involved in providing accessible technologies for 25 years, began supplying accessible solutions for wounded soldiers who could not use their hands and were therefore unable to use computers or cellphones. The article describes the challenges the team had when it was absolutely impossible to go through any normal procedures. The team, thus the family, worked day and night to accommodate people that left their AAC devices at home when the reality of Iron Swords forced them out in a hurry or their devices were damaged or destroyed. The article is dedicated with love to my mother, Hanna Zeltzer z"l to the medical team at Sheba Tel-HaShomer and to the whole family of Dagesh.
