A nine-year-old Palestinian boy plays in the rubble, after part of his family home has been demolished in the Shu’fat village in Jerusalem. As building permits are notoriously difficult, in some cases impossible, for Palestinians to obtain, demolition of houses stated not to have the relevant permits is common in the area. This time, the family lost their living room, two bathrooms, and kitchen.
