Palestinian child showing the Israeli bomb in the west bank.
 The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has said in a fresh report that more than 1.9 million Palestinian face the threat of death, injury, displacement, detention, psychological distress, and low educational attainment because of measures taken by Israeli forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 
The continued siege on the Gaza Strip and restrictions on movement in the West Bank threaten the livelihoods of hosueholds and their access to basic services.
Palestinian children are suffering from the Israeli occupation every day of their lives, and this suffering comes in many ways, as UNICEF has said.
Children in Palestine don't really have the life they should have, like any child in this world. Many of them lost their lives just because they were born into the conflict between Israel and Palestine. They don't have placed for playing or going to school or watching TV and funny things that make them feel like children, they're growing up with serious things. When they play, most of the time they make two groups: one is the army and one is the Palestinians and they do the same as what they see in reality.
The last time I visited the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and also the West Bank inside Palestine, it made me so sad what I saw, children there are missing a healthy life, they live in very bad conditions. Children should have a better life, as any child dreams to live. But when will this time come?
