An international student from Palestine in the Middle East who had been uneasy about getting a mask for more than a month and received a mask from a friend and a representative from Palestine in Tokyo, is still unable to use it.

Summer Abu Maguri (34), a Palestinian graduate student studying at a university in Tokyo, went to a pharmacy or a supermarket in Ichikawa, Chiba near his home in the middle of January to get a mask. I was out of stock, but I couldn't even buy one.

Mr. Abu Maguri, who can hardly understand Japanese, says that he did not know how to get the mask, and for almost one month he did not go out because of fear of infection. I went shopping only twice a week, but since I don't have a mask, I was excited to visit the supermarket.

Around March this year, a Palestinian friend living in Tokyo shared several masks with me, and in mid-April I received two masks from the Palestinian representative in Japan, but the scaryness that I don't have is at hand. If I don't want to taste it again, I still can't use it.

Mr. Abu Maguri said, "I don't know that Japanese people usually wear masks and sell them everywhere, so I can't buy them anymore. Foreigners have limited information than Japanese, so masks It's hard to get, and the mask I have is kept for emergency use. "

However, the number of customers decreased due to the spread of the new coronavirus, and we had no choice but to close one of the mobile phone stores and close the other store.

I distributed the masks to one person only once a day so that many people could get the masks.

Since then, mask distribution has begun in Tokyo, but because it is expensive, some people think that some people are still out of reach, and Mr. Ruff Sanzani purchased another 10,000 masks this month and started distributing again for free. ..

The Nepalese man who received it said, "I'm happy. Thank you so much for this time."

Japanese people living in the vicinity also visited the store, and Mr. Ruff Sanzani handed his mask.
