Palestine
Palestinians live in very precarious conditions as a result of the ongoing conflict, the fragmentation of the West Bank and the blockade of the Gaza Strip. Children suffer from various protection concerns that are caused by the conflict and the widespread violence against children at the community and family levels. Tdh focuses its activities on the provision of child protection services for vulnerable children and their families, including children in conflict with the law, child labourers and responding to the humanitarian needs.
