Save the Children: Rights of Children being ‘Eroded’ from the oPt
Picture
On the anniversary of Universal Children’s Day, international NGO Save the Children released a statement highlighting ongoing the rights violations of Palestinian children in the occupied territory, by Israel.

Jennifer Moorehead, the country director of Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) called for greater protection of schools and children’s right to education, saying that “children’s most fundamental right to education is being eroded.”

Moorehead highlighted the cases of 55 Palestinian schools in Area C, the more than 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli civilian and security control, that are under threat of demolition by Israeli forces.

“Distance, risky roads, the presence of settlers or of military checkpoints had presented insurmountable challenges for many children to reach the nearest schools,” Moorhead said.

“The challenges in the education sector reflect the increasing protection risks we are seeing across the occupied Palestinian territory,” she said, adding that “school demolitions, threats of violence and harassment, military presence in and around school premises and lack of adequate resources are all undermining children’s basic right to education.”

“These children are being denied a future in areas where unemployment has risen to among the highest in the world and restrictions on movement make it difficult to get to school or university or access vital healthcare.”

Save the Children called upon world leaders to take action to protect children’s “inalienable right” to safe access to a quality education and to guarantee the special protection afforded to children in areas of conflict.

“We call upon those with responsibility for upholding children’s rights in the oPt and world leaders to address the growing child protection risks in the education sector; to support and endorse the the Safe Schools Declaration and the related Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military Use; and to take concrete and immediate steps towards the demilitarisation of school spaces,” the statement concluded, according to Ma’an.

Family Of Youngest Detainee Appeals For His Release
Picture
The family of Waleed Riyad ad-Daly, 14, held by Israel in Ofer prison, voiced an appeal to various human rights and legal groups, calling for the release of their detained child, who was also injured in his arm when the soldiers abducted him along with two other children, in late September 2017.

The child’s father, Riyad ad-Daly, said that the soldiers shot his boy in his arm, after they and undercover officers invaded Biddu village, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, before shooting and violently assaulting the child, and abducted him along with two other children, identified as Yazid Akram Hmeidan, 15, and Hamada Jamal Abu ‘Eid, 16.

He added that his child is now the youngest detainee in Israeli prison, and is in urgent need for specialized medical treatment, and added that Jamal was sent to court 13 times since then; each time the judges extended his detention.

Jamal, along with Yazid and Hamada, are accused of throwing stones at the army’s jeeps, after the soldiers invaded their town.

It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS), the al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, Ad-Dameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, and the Palestinian Detainees’ Committee, have recently stated that the Israeli army abducted 431 Palestinians, including 98 children, this past September.

They said that the IOF soldiers had raided the village in the early morning and claimed that youths and schoolchildren threw stones at their patrols.

Report: “Israeli Soldiers Killed 14 Palestinian Children This Year”
Picture
Marking the World Children’s Day (November 20th) the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) has reported that Israeli soldiers have killed 14 Palestinian children since the beginning of this year, while 300 children are still imprisoned by Israel.

It said that, according to statements and official data by the Palestinian Detainees’ Committee, Israeli soldiers have abducted 15000 Palestinians, including 4000 children, since the al-Quds Intifada started in late October 2015.

The PCBS added that Israel was still holding 300 children captive, facing bad treatment, torture and constant violations, spending their childhoods in prisons, without even the right to education.

It quoted detailed data and statistics by Defense for Children International (DCI) confirming that Israeli soldiers have killed 14 Palestinian children, since the beginning of this year, until October 31, compared to 35 children killed by Israeli fire in 2016.

It added that three of the slain children, killed in 2017, were 13-15 years of age, and eleven were 16-17 years of age.

Children kidnapped, homes ravaged in predawn sweep by Israeli army
Picture
A number of Palestinians, among them minors, were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at daybreak Sunday in abduction sweeps rocking the West Bank.

The Israeli army claimed responsibility for the abduction of six Palestinians at predawn time on allegations of involvement in anti-occupation activities.

At the same time, dozens of Israeli settlers, escorted by Israeli soldiers broke into Nabi Younes shrine and performed sacrilegious rituals, sparking tension in the area.

Meanwhile, two Palestinian minors—12-year-old Mohamed Ikhleil and 16-year-old Bashar al-Teit—along with Malek al-Teit, aged 19, were kidnapped by the IOF from their homes in al-Khalil’s northern town of Beit Ummar, in the southern West Bank.

Clashes also flared up shortly after the IOF rolled into Tulkarem city and attacked the Palestinian protesters with spates of teargas canisters, resulting in several suffocation cases.

The Palestinian anti-occupation youths reacted to the assault by hurling stones at the heavily-armed occupation troops.

The IOF also stormed Tulkarem’s refugee camp and kidnapped two Palestinian youths—Asid Ka’biya and Basel al-Belidi—after they wreaked havoc on their family homes.

The Israeli soldiers also stormed the home of the Palestinian ex-prisoner Abdullah al-Aleimi in the city and ravaged the building, triggering panic among the inhabitants.

The Jerusalemite child Yazan Husseini…deportation to Akko and detention inside an internal institution
Picture
“I miss my parents, brothers and my house in Jerusalem”. Those were the words of 13-year old Yazan Mohammad Husseini who is deported to the city of Akko in northern Palestine and where he is being detained inside an internal institution following an order from the occupation authorities.

Since last April, Yazan has been detained, deported and under house-arrest on charges of “making weapons and throwing Molotov Cocktails towards a settlement outpost in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem; his case is still in court.

Mohammad Husseini, Yazan’s father, explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that his son is deported to the city of Akko and detained inside an internal institution…An institution that is like a prison with high walls, guards on its gates, restrictions on visitation, movement and reports that are handed over to the court by its officials. Leaving the institution is prohibited and only allowed by a court order.

Husseini explained that his son was arrested in late April after breaking into his house in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. He was interrogated and released several hours later on condition of house-arrest until completing the legal proceedings against him. He was not allowed to leave the house for any reason and was not allowed to attend his school which only had two months before the end of the school year; he was in 8th grade.

His father added that he was transferred to an internal institution in Akko after about two months of confinement in his home. He is able to study and learn a profession, but his detention worries his family, especially that many children are detained on criminal cases such as thefts, drugs, etc…

The Husseini family misses its son Yazan at all times and miss his presence with the family especially on social occasions. His mother says: "The first day was the beginning of the month of Ramadan. We missed him and we cried a lot because he was not there. He was prevented from attending his brother's engagement...The institution is far from us and we visit him every month, pointing out that the visit is allowed every two weeks, but distance prevents them from visiting him every two weeks.

Euro-Med: Gaza children suffer from food insecurity
Picture
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has said that the children in the Gaza Strip are suffering from food insecurity and lack of adequate health and educational services as a result of 11 years of ongoing Israeli blockade.

This came in a statement released by the Euro-Med on the occasion of the International Children’s Day, which is observed on November 20.

“What the children of Gaza face is a clear violation of their rights that are guaranteed by international law,” the Monitor stated.

In addition to food insecurity, Israel has escalated the detention of Palestinian children and minors, whose number amounts to more than 150 detainees every month, according to the Monitor.

Army Isolates Halhoul, North Of Hebron
Picture
The Israeli military completely surrounded and isolated, on Friday evening, the town of Halhoul, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, as a collective punishment measure against the entire town, after a Palestinian boy attacked and mildly injured two colonist settlers, earlier in the day.

The Palestinian has been identified as Ezzeddin Ibrahim Karja, 17, from Halhoul. The soldiers shot him with several live rounds, causing serious wounds.

The Israeli army said that it decided to impose a siege on the town, “after assessing the security situation,” and that Karja’s family has been summoned for interrogation.

Lawyer Karim ‘Ajwa, of the Palestinian Detainees’ Committee, stated that Ezzeddin was still in a very serious condition at the Intensive Care Unit in Hadassah Israeli Medical Center in occupied Jerusalem.

In related news, Israeli colonists attacked two Palestinian children in Wadi an-Nassara area, near the illegal Keryat Arba’ colony, east of Hebron city.

Media sources in Hebron said the colonists hurled stones at many Palestinian homes, and sprayed several children with pepper spray, causing two to suffocate.

2 children kidnapped by Israeli forces from Jerusalem
Picture
Two Palestinian boys were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on Thursday evening from Jerusalem’s eastern town of al-Tur.

According to eyewitnesses, Israeli forces stormed al-Tur and kidnapped 11-year-old Tamer Hadara, along with another minor.

Earlier in the day, 13-year-old Mohamed Shweiki was kidnapped on his way to school by the occupation forces after he was aggressively beaten.

The child was later released on conditions of a 10-day house arrest and a bail.

Over recent years, hundreds of Palestinian children have been kidnapped by the Israeli occupation army and police under the pretext of stone-hurling. Several minors have also been made to endure exhaustive questioning so as to force confessions.

Two European-funded W. Bank schools face destruction and seizure
Picture
Another two European-funded Palestinian schools in the occupied West Bank are threatened with demolition and seizure by the Israeli occupation authority.

The schools in Wadi as-Seeq and al-Muntar were built last year with European donor funding as humanitarian relief aid for Palestinian Bedouin communities lacking basic services.

The schools serve children of displaced and refugee communities who have already suffered destruction of their property by Israel over many years.

The schools are now the subject of Israeli court proceedings that could lead to their destruction and seizure. The hearings are scheduled for November 20 and December 10, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

The NRC said its information counseling and legal aid program would provide legal assistance to the communities in court.

“Once again, Palestinian children are facing the traumatic prospect of turning up for school and finding that it no longer exists,” the NRC’s country director in Palestine, Kate O’Rourke, said.

“Once again we have to ask: Why are children being denied their fundamental right to education? This attack on schools is part of a wider drive to forcibly transfer Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem to create space for illegal settlement expansion,” O’Rourke added.

Headmaster of al-Muntar school, Wisam Merei, warned that “If the school was demolished, most of the children would drop out.”

A community representative and parent, Abu Hasan, confirmed these concerns and said that “children do not have any other place to study in his community. This school allows local children to study without having to leave their community and use risky roads close to the nearby settlement.”

The Wadi as-Seeq community has received 11 stop-work orders for their structures in the last nine years. Two structures were demolished in 2012 and 2014, and all mobile latrines provided by a local NGO in 2011 were confiscated by the Israeli army’s civil administration, which is now also attempting to seize the school from the community.

"We call on the governments and donors funding Palestinian children’s education to increase diplomatic pressure to prevent the demolition and seizure of school infrastructure, which is in violation of international humanitarian law and all children’s basic right to education,” O’Rourke said.

“The destruction of educational structures is not just a violation of international law, it also demonstrates contempt towards the international community’s provision of aid to the occupied Palestinian population, to ensure safe places for children to learn,” she added.

“Earlier this year, the Israeli authorities destroyed and damaged three other schools in the West Bank funded by international assistance, just before children were due to go back to school after the summer break,” according to the NRC.  

“More than 60 schools in the West Bank are currently at risk of demolition, and children in schools across the West Bank face attacks on their right to education,” the NRC stated.

“In the first half of 2017 alone, 93 education-related incidents affecting 13,906 students were documented in the West Bank, including incidents where children were arrested from their classrooms and exposed to harassment at checkpoints.”
