Since 1967, Israel has aggressively pursued a policy of settlement expansion throughout the occupied Palestinian territory, resulting in extreme acts of violence towards Palestinian civilians, including children, and their property by settlers and settlement guards. In this episode, we discuss the impact of the presence of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, on Palestinian children. We’re joined again by Mr. Yasser and Ameer Awais from al Sawiya al Lubban Secondary School. DCI-Palestine Advocacy Officer Manar Al-Amleh translates.

Childhood Under Occupation is a monthly podcast about child rights and international law, illustrated through the stories of children living in the occupied Palestinian territory and the work of Defense for Children International - Palestine. Through interviews with experts, field researchers and children, the podcast offers a rare, immersive experience of the lives of children living under occupation, including those detained in the Israeli military detention system, and the work of DCIP's lawyers, field researchers and advocacy staff to protect their rights.

This podcast is produced by Defense for Children International - Palestine.
