The theme of this years @unitednations #InternationalYouthDay is to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”⠀ ⠀ #Palestinian children living under Israeli military occupation face huge barriers to education, including having to cross military checkpoints to get to school and having to face military and Israeli settler violence on their way to school. Many have experienced violent attacks, such as tear gas attacks, in the classroom. Furthermore, as of January 2019, more than fifty schools remained at risk of full or partial demolition.⠀ ⠀ The Israeli government have a responsibility under international law to ensure that all Palestinian children can access their #righttoeducation.⠀ ⠀ To read eyewitness blogs on the issue, visit eyewitnessblogs.com⠀ ⠀ #YouthDay #Palestine #Israel #WestBank #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #EndtheOccupation #PhotoDocumentary #ConflictPhotography #HumanRightsPhotography #PhotooftheDay #PeopleofPalestine #HumansofPalestine #Children #Youth #ChildrenofPalestine #MiddleEast

Imagine if you didn't have enough #water on the #hottestdayoftheyear?⠀ ⠀ According to @Amnesty, as a result of the #IsraeliOccupation, “some 180,000 – 200,000 Palestinians living in rural communities have no access to running water and even in towns and villages which are connected to the water network, the taps often run dry”. ⠀ ⠀ Palestinians have to buy tankered water which costs up to 400% more than network water. Prices have risen as tankers have to take long detours along unpaved tracks to deliver the water. #Israeli settlement farms thrive with their water-intensive commercial agriculture whilst Palestinian farmers are able to irrigate only 6.8% of their land.⠀ ⠀ #Palestine #Israel #WestBank #WaterRights #HumanRights #EndtheOccupation #MiddleEast #Photography #Photooftheday #AnimalPhotography #WildlifePhotography #ThursdayThoughts #hottestdayonrecord #desert
