In a pressure injury, a localized area of injury to the skin may develop when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a long period of time.

Pressure ulcers are skin breakdowns that occur in areas of the body that are compressed from prolonged bed rest, wheelchair use, or cast use. When you are immobile, unconscious, confined to bed, or unable to feel pain, pressure injuries may occur. When pressure permanently cuts off the blood supply to the skin, a pressure injury is one result. Skin cells die when there is inadequate blood flow to them. This first manifests as a painful, red area. Anyone can develop a pressure ulcer, but those over the age of 70 are more likely to struggle with mobility and have skin that is more vulnerable to injury from dehydration and other factors.

What other groups had a claim to Israel
faltersainse [42]

Israel was claimed by the native Palestinians who had lived there apart from the Jews.

Explanation:

The land of Israel was a very contested part of the world as it was historically accurate as the place where the Jews lived but this also meant that it was the place where there were less Jews now as they had migrated out.

Now the people who occupied the land were the Palestinian Muslims who themselves had been in the region for hundreds of years and were also natives with a legitimate claim to the land

Eventually it was handed over to Israel to much the dismay of the Muslims of the area.
