'This sewage system is the only means of school children crossing from one side of their town to the other. The school is located on this side of the barrier, and most of the children live on the other side.
The water is filthy, hazardous and utterly disgusting.'

'This Palestinian schoolboy is looking for soldiers before venturing out through the sewage system.
The day before this photo was taken a heavily pregnant woman was heard shrieking from within the tunnel.'

'A common site - in order to avoid this kind of destruction Palestinians are forced to ‘register’ their homes with the Israeli government. A lengthy and laborious process, the average wait time to get approval to ‘keep’ your land ranges from 2 months to 8 years. At any point in the application process, the house can be removed for failure to comply with registration procedures - as was the case with the home above.'
