Watch this child talk about life under the occupation. He is probably 5 or 6 years old, no older than 7. I have pasted a rough translation afterwards.

“We want the world to come and see us and see our children, how they are locked in the classrooms (UNRWA Schools) sitting on the floor without mattresses or blankets. No food, no water, no electricity, is it a life? It is a siege, this is the biggest siege for Israel.

Come and see how we are all living, thrown aside. We don’t play we don’t laugh, we can’t learn or have fun, also we cant watch TV or cartoon shows. When we open TV, the only thing we see is funerals, death, fire, tanks, shooting and invasions. I don’t ever see children’s TV shows or cartoons to watch and enjoy and learn from. It’s all about siege its all about the invasion and watching the shooting.

No food, no water, no drink, there is nothing. We are thrown aside like beggars. While other people are living in peace, playing laughing and happy, we are under siege, we have been under siege for almost 2 years, we don’t eat, drink, we don’t do anything.
They won’t even open the borders to let in a little bit of food or anything else.”
