C. D. N. T. V. By the fulfilled may join us for special coverage as we look at the possible demise of a media giant and the ramifications for press freedom in the philippines on aljazeera. And welcome again to rewind im nor. Since we launched Al Jazeera English back in 2006 our library of Award Winning documentaries has been growing year by year and here on rewind were revisiting some of the best of them today were rewinding more than 10 years to a series that looked at the data lives of children in conflict zones weve picked a particularly moving episode in which the filmmakers traveled to gaza where today 45 percent of the population children under 15 all of whom have firsthand experience of the machinery and consequences of violence. The children youre about sonys. By their days had a lives in gaza but as youll see they are somehow immensely inspiring from 2007 children of conflict. Gaza. One of the worlds biggest news stories. But one of the smallest and most claustrophobic strips of land on earth. A virtual prison with no way out and hardly any way in. The years of conflict with israel have left gaza in ruins. A growing east search for fire stairs. And blue states. And i will recruit other children here from mark to down. Today gaza feels like a population living on life support machine theres not enough of anything any money water food or medicine i know what this means i know what love means i know what their what worries me is im scared i think were going to die death is coming. This tiny strip of land is bordered by israel egypt and the Mediterranean Sea entry to gaza is 3 checkpoints all of which are controlled by israel. Gaza makes up only 6 percent of the palestinian territory it contains nearly home off of its population around 1200000. 00. 50 percent of children under the age of 10. Roughly twice the size of washington d. C. Gaza is. Of the most densely populated places in the world. Fatima al natur was a grandmother to 23 grandchildren these are just some of them she had a tough life 2 of her children had been killed and others were in prison and her own house had been destroyed forcing her to live with relatives. When she died all she had was a room with a wardrobe a bed and a nail to hang things on she lived in dire poverty. Oh but she chose to dummy in desperate and. Comes. Last november at the age of 67 fastener became the oldest female Palestinian Suicide bomber. She approached a group of soldiers and detonated explosives strapped around her waist. And. 2 weeks before her death fatima went on a winning protest in the town of beit hanoun while she was there she witnessed the massacre of 13 children and the death of one of her friends her family say it was the to. Be an american to have she went but you knew when to break the most siege she was the 1st woman to confront the Israeli Soldiers and right between the tanks we were surprised she came back to us alive after that. We thought she would get killed thank fashion his grandchildren say she came back from beit hanoun a changed person she was unusually quiet and she chose to spend time with each of the children individually was to call them so that someone. Is she with me address that was worth 30 chicagos and i hadnt been able to pay her back she said to me a little over the debt if i die today but i didnt take her seriously i mean she was normal she was helping us to bake the bread before she went out to die i suppose she may have been trying to tell me and directly that the her words were full of for those. The grandchildren insist they had no idea what she was planning to do. The bank has money we are astonished at what happened we will miss her daily. The little ones cry for her and call her name at night they really loved her a lot and they keep visiting her they go to her room and knock on the door as if shes still there they sit on her bed and reminisce about they keep calling her name and asking her to come back i wish i could have said goodbye and then i would have got her last words of advice on how she was going to do this who drove her to this ideology how i have dealings with the movement why they are saying very little to me and im trying to find out the address of other person to talk to i want to do the same i want to know how to do this are you serious that you were 14 years old she never says yes if you look at it from a view that life is just a passage then age is not an obstacle and that you have to as a matter of fact im trying to raise my little sister to think in this way this wouldnt worry me and i will recruit other children here for martyrdom isnt it. Its not life is a passage its not a sad thing that ive. Already become a master or not going to die and were all going to die anyway. That the band yes clearly said of course that my grandmother will be a very good example for the children to follow she will give them the passion for martyrdom and raise them in the love of their land and when they grow up they will learn to defend palestine and they will revenge their grandmother. Do you ever think about the kids in israel do you ever wonder if for example the children instead of rot do you think that they might be suffering to the band yeah numa yeah but yes of course but just like our children live under constant fear their children should also experience the same fear and terror thats a normal reaction i refuse to accept that the other children of the world can live in peace and security while the children of palestine live under terror besh rubble. Children are growing up really thinking that this is is normal not being able to move around having difficulty getting to school. Year violence for siblings problem friends being killed. And their palestinian engineer it looks like a prison when you want a goal from here Gaza Dora Muller for example you have to go through that checkpoint and. Many questions. Although its our land theres no place to go because every good place. Israels and israeli and destroy it. Here they know what to do what one means what their word that what this means and they know they see blood very little everything to politics they is they just live in a purely political situation all end in schools they took it all for they when they play you can see them shooting other vital voices. I know i know what this means i know what love means i know what they hear what war means for as little as they know i know and all the children how is the feeling. Of not having a mom. Or dad or brother or the democratically elected government of the palestinian territories is how much the west regard hamas as a terrorist organization and have frozen aid to both go there on the west bank. The economy has collapsed and Civil Servants havent been paid for over a year. Its beyond peoples coping mechanisms they cant cope anymore and thats really what were seeing here in gaza people have sold anything that they might have to and. And to get by and theyre just not making ends meet anymore were saying poverty rates really get much worse people are living on less than 2. 00 a day 8 percent population and now at that rate of poverty which is comparable with some of the poorest places in the world. The sea a source of food is patrolled by the Israeli Military. Gazas fisherman can only fish safely in shallow polluted waters they say these days they are lucky to catch a handful of sardines. So mostly the boats dont bother to go out anymore. The land here is 1st tile and gaza used to have a thriving agriculture industry. But with the sealed borders these farmers console their crops. Many children have had to drop out of school to support their families in these fields i saw children as young as 5 spending backbreaking 10 hour days picking carrots. They earned just 30 shekels thats about 5. 00 a day. This is al shoka a village overlooked by Gardner Airport the whole area was destroyed by israeli tanks in august 2006 during a military incursion. Israel says it has to carry out these incursions to protect itself. The people here didnt do anything wrong. Houses and the family then them were simply in the way. This mother told me she used to have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms a washing machine and a t. V. Now all she has is a few dusty blankets under some plastic sheet. And boulders just opened. And they came to show they told us to get outside i was scared from the sound it explodes i left all the toys were the bulldozers were they broke my toys. Under the house they didnt clear us anything except one tree. Over there. Living conditions like this a particularly hard on children theres no sanitation no clean water and shelter from the cold thats not even a safe place to play. And if the children get sick there are no daughters but even if they were the parents couldnt pay anyway. This road runs through the middle of the gaza strip. During the years that Israeli Settlers lived here it was closed to the palestinians. The settlers left in 2005 and the homes were destroyed by these women. Many palestinian homes still bear the scars of the battles surrounding the settlement. Battles with a shia family. That tool 4 storey house is situated between a form a settlement village and a palestinian village the Israeli Military tried to take over the house because it wanted to use it as a lookout position but the family refused to leave so the soldiers took the top 2 floors and the. Who have 6 children stayed on the ground to. The 1st time i saw the soldiers i was scared but i got used to them and then i wasnt so scared. I asked them if i could go to the toilet but the soldiers said no they would not allow me to go. They did not let me so i wet myself. They forced us down sides and i took my dad and myself and they blindfolded me and this was the most scary thing of all. And how do you feel now this is not the soldiers. Im so happy now they have a gun now i can go out whenever i like at night and day people can come and see us im happy even my Close Friends can come visit me and i can go to their houses i mean im happy happy happy and so so. Was i. Was as internal tensions rising gaza children have also been caught in the crossfire between hamas and fatah the 2 leading palestinian political parties. In december 2 10063 children were killed when their colleagues and little girls in an apparent attack on their father a senior fatter intelligence official. Over 50 children have been killed in the past 3 months. A more than half of gazas children are thought to be suffering psychological damage as a result of trauma i love where i live have very little had them are all this destruction and mess we just wanted she moved we want it back as its used to be before with all the trees we want peace and this for lunch because we always live and fear and you dont feel safe in these houses i swear we heard the sound of for kits and the noise of shooting and everything would love some peace in this war especially in gaza. What would she say to the politicians on both sides. Are less than. My 1st toward a start to the arabs you talk about saving the children and you speak much about children but you dont truly mean what you say because children do not have any rights here. Olmert the Prime Minister of as or and i say to him kill children who are anderson. I think its because he and the israelis are scared of children. This is because they think the children will grow up to be fighters its the opposite i want to tell him the children aspire to be educated go to the University Get a ph d. s they warrant an education they just want an indication. Violence poverty politics. Daily reality for the children of gaza. In gaza the population is estimated to be about 1400000 over hard these people children just think about what kind of impact passing along the top trashing my generation its its going to be addressed i really do you want to be a journalist because because. d because i like when i get bigger ill describe the situation here ill still everybody how we live how. God willing i would love to be a professor of chemistry at university. Thats if i do not succeed in being a martyr. And when you become the 1st female president of palestine which im absolutely sure youre going to be one of the 1st 3 things youre going to do and how if. If im president and. I would 1st give children all their art so they dont have to live in discern years and misery that we live in. Seconds i would you move all the sharpish i would not leave it the way it is now i would see that there are municipalities that could clear the mess left behind by the israeli and 3rd. New country. Children of conflict from 2007 well that was more than 10 years ago so what has become of the kids we met in that film in the decade since children of conflict conditions in gaza have to terra to badly and there were major israeli incursions in 2009 and 14 we returned recently to gaza to find out what has happened to those children who by now a well into the teens on the 20. 5 at that he had a belly.
