Since the occupation of Palestine began, a never-ending series of tragedies have hit Palestinians as a result of the occupying authorities’ policies.
It targeted the Palestinian people with all of their capabilities, components, and daily details, through a variety of arbitrary practices such as killing, injuring, arresting, displacing, and deporting Palestinians, forcibly establishing land and settlements, confiscating land and settlements, walls, and barrio walls.
Despite international conventions, treaties, conventions, and laws providing for children’s rights, the Palestinian child was at the forefront of the occupation authorities’ arbitrary actions.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child, for example, advocated the child’s right to life, freedom, and adequate living conditions, as well as health care, education, recreation, play, psychological security, and peace.
