Palestinian children 'feel abandoned' after home demolitions: study

A Palestinian girl cries as Israeli excavators demolish some of the construction belonging to Palestinians for allegedly being unauthorized and being in zone C, at Yatta district in Hebron, West Bank, on Sept. 30, 2020.

Four out of five Palestinian children whose homes Israel has demolished say they “feel abandoned by the world,” Save the Children said in a new report on Monday. 

The UK-based charity conducted interviews with 217 Palestinian families in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including 67 children between the ages of 10 and 17 years old who lost their homes to Israeli demolitions.
