Israeli Soldiers Shot Hundreds of Palestinian Children with Live Ammunition: The Devastating Impact of Life After an Injury
“Before I was shot I did not bother anyone or get angry with
anybody,” says Basel Kamal Safi from Deir Ammar refugee camp, near
Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
He was just 17 when an Israeli soldier shot him with live ammunition.
“Now I get angry because of the pain, especially when someone accidentally touches my injury,” he says in the short video below.
It is one of two videos published recently by Defense for Children International–Palestine (DCI-Palestine), highlighting the experiences of children shot by Israeli occupation forces with live ammunition.
