Handicapped in the occupation times of Palestine, 2019, It is a short reportage about disabled children whose life is even more difficult under the Israelis occupation when Israali soldiers does not distinguish between ordinary or extraordinary child.Above all, many of them become disabled after army attack or just a usual raid inside the camp.
I see these children as little heroes who has much more to deal with than ordinary children. They are brave and sometimes has to deal with mental pain too.In the day care establishment called "Noor" I have photographed, all the children were from the Aida and Beit Jibrin refugee camps,located in the area of Palestine.
Noor was established in 2010 by the mothers of disbled children.In order to generate income and support the costs of the rehabilitation services , they offer cooking classes to strangers, tourists who stays in the refugee camp or in the village.
