on al-jazeera. and welcome again to rewind to i'm laura. since we know what's to al-jazeera english back in two thousand and six on library of award winning documentaries has been growing year by year and tear on rewind we're revisiting some of the best of them today we're rewinding more than ten years to a series that looked at the day to day lives of children in conflict zones. we've picked a particularly moving episode in which the filmmakers traveled to gaza where today

forty five percent of the population children under fifteen all of whom have firsthand experience of the machinery and consequences of violence the children you're about to meet had all been traumatized by their day to day lives in gaza but as you'll see they are somehow immensely inspiring from two thousand and seven his children of conflict. gaza. one of the world's 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 grainy search reforest herself. and blew herself up. and our crew the other children here for martyrdom. today gaza feels like a population living on life support machine there's 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 warn me is i'm scared i think we're going to die death is coming. this tiny strip of land is bordered by israel egypt and the mediterranean sea entry to gaza is three checkpoints all of which are controlled by israel. gaza makes up only six percent of the palestinian territory it contains nearly hoth of its population around one point two million people fifty

percent of children under the age of ten. roughly twice the size of washington d.c. gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world. fatima al natur was a grandmother to twenty three grandchildren these are just some of them she had a tough life two 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 die a poverty. oh oh oh oh oh but she chose to dummy in desperate and in the.

last november at the age of sixty seven fastener became the oldest female palestinian suicide bomber. she approached a group of soldiers and detonated explosives strapped around her waist. and. two 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 the 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 first 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. 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 sin and. this she bought me a dress there was worth thirty chicago's and i hadn't been able to pay her back she said to me a little of the debt if i die today but i didn't 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. it quick has money we are astonished at what happened we will miss her daily. 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

she's 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 but they are saying very little to me and i'm trying to find out the address she was 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 fourteen years old service. 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 i'm trying to raise my little sister to think in this way this wouldn't worry me and i will recruit other children here for martyrdom isn't it.

it's not life is a passage it's not a sad thing that i was ready to become a master or not to die and we're 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 it's that or old do you think that they might be suffering to the band yeah numa yeah not the best use of course but just like our children live under constant fear their children should also experience the same fear and terror that's 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 versus rubble. children are growing up really thinking that this is is normal

not being able to move around having difficulty getting to school. violence for siblings brought friends being killed. and their palestine and 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. you have many questions. although it's our land there's no place to go because every good place. israel's and israeli and this joy is. here they know what to do what one means what their word that what this means and they know if they see blood very little everything to politics they is they just live in

a fully political situation all end in schools they took a while 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 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 haven't been paid for over a year. it's beyond people's coping mechanisms they can't cope anymore and that's really what we're seeing here in gaza people have sold anything that they might

have to enable. to get by and they're just not making ends meet. it's really. people are living on less than two dollars a day. 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. gaza's 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 don't bother to go out anymore. the land here is first tile and gaza used to have a thriving agriculture industry. but with the sealed borders these farmers can't sell their crops. many children have had to drop out of school to support their families in these fields i saw children

as young as five spending backbreaking ten hour days picking carrots. they earned just thirty shekels about five dollars a day. this is al shoka a village overlooked by gardner airport the whole area was destroyed by israeli tanks in august two thousand and six during a military incursion. israel says it has to carry out these incursions to protect. the people here didn't do anything wrong is housing and the family than them were simply in the way. this mother told me she used to have a three bedroom house with two bathrooms a washing machine and a t.v. . now all she has is a few dusty blankets under some plastic sheet. and

bulldozers opened. and they came to show they told us to get out i was scared from the sound it explodes i left all the toys were the bulldozers were they broke my toy they are under the house what they did tell us anything except one tree when they were over there. living conditions like this a particularly hard on children there's no sanitation no clean water and a shelter from the cold that's not even a safe place to play. and if the children get sick there are no daughters but even if they were the parents couldn't 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 two thousand and five and the homes were destroyed by these were. many palestinian homes still bear the scars of the battles surrounding the settlement. battles the bashir family. the tall four story 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 two floors and the. who have six children stayed on the ground to. the first time i saw the soldiers i was scared but i got used to them and then i wasn't so scared. i asked them if i could go to the toilet for 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 it's not the soldiers. i'm 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 i'm happy even my close friends can come visit me and i can go to their houses i mean i have to be happy happy and so so. that my job was. i was internal tensions rising gaza children have also been caught in the crossfire between hamas

and fatah the two leading palestinian political parties. in december two thousand and six three children were killed when their colleagues and little girls in an apparent attack on their father a senior fatter intelligence official. over fifty children have been killed in the past three months. or more than half of gaza's children are thought to be suffering psychological damage as a result of trauma and i love have them over the them are all this destruction and mess we just wanted she moved we want it back as a team used to be before with all the trees we want peace and as for large because we always live and fair and you don't feel safe in these houses i swear we heard the sound of for our kids and the noise of shooting and everything would love some peace in this war especially. what would she say to the politicians on both

sides of the golan less than. my first toward a start to the arabs you talk about saving the children and you speak much about children but you don't truly mean what you say because children do not have any rights here. olmert the prime minister of ezra and i said to him why do you kill children who are endless and. i think it's because he and the israelis are scared of children and this is because they think the children will grow up to be fighters it's the opposite i want to tell him the children aspire to be educated go to the university get ph d.'s they warrant an education they just want an indication.

violence poverty politics. daily reality for the children of conflict. in gaza the population is estimated to be about one point four million over hafiz people children just think about what kind of impact by housing along the top russian generation it's it's going to be addressed i'd really be a journalist because because. because i like it when i get bigger i'll describe the situation here i'll kill everybody how we live how. god willing i would love to be a professor of chemistry at university. that's if i do not succeed in being a martyr. and when you become the first female president of palestine which i'm

absolutely sure you're going to be one of the first three things you're going to do and how and. if i'm president and. i would first give children all there are so they don't 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 you know i would see that there are municipalities that could clear the mess left behind by the israeli and third. new country. children of conflict from two thousand and seven now that was more than ten 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 tear a tit badly and there were major israeli incursions in two thousand and nine and

fourteen we returned recently to gaza to find out what has happened to those children who by now a well into the teens on the twenty. at the he said well we. just. did in the. in the thick. head the luggage in the high corner and dictate a bit faster. than a include a way any. one
