🎥"Palestinian Life Under Israel's Illegal Occupation" - Episode 2: Demolitions and Forced Displacement.

Entire Palestinian communities are being bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements. Families in Masafer Yatta, Jordan Valley, East Jerusalem and the refugee camps in the occupied West Bank watch their homes vanish, schools flattened and their futures erased.

In Episode 2 of this series made by Palestinians we explore the shocking fact that nearly 20,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced internally since 2009. All to make way for Israeli settlements that are illegal under international law.
