Learn more about the Palestinian situation
There are a significant number of ongoing human rights violations that are a result of the Israeli occupation, and in each of these three areas (the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem) we are seeing similar and also varying types and degrees of violations. The conflict is an old and complex one and we recommend you read as much as you can about it as part of this campaign.
