Get to know Jenin up close, home of the Palestinians killed by Israel

Micro-documentary reveals the reality of the Jenin refugee camp, a symbol of Palestinian resistance in the West Bank.

Ten Palestinians were killed and one hundred wounded by Israeli military forces in one of the largest operations in years against Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp.

Israel has illegally occupied the West Bank, where Jenin is located, since 1967. That is 56 years of illegal occupation, in violation of international law.

Palestinians are the largest refugee group in the world. They have been in refugee status for 75 years, abroad and inside Palestine itself, without the right to return to their regions of origin or even to move around their own country.

Palestinians have the right to resist the illegal occupation, the expulsion from their homes and the chronic violence to which they are subjected.

We, writer and journalist Cassiana Pizaia and analyst and journalist Vinícius Sgarbe, produced a micro-documentary about Jenin more than a year ago, after two trips to the Middle East.
