Palestinians forced to demolish own homes

Occupied East Jerusalem – For the past two months, Hamzah Abu Terr has slept on the floor of his home. He gave his bed to his three small children whose room he was forced to destroy earlier this year, to avoid large demolition fines issued by the Israeli municipality. “I had no choice,” said Hamzah, sitting on the couch at his home in East Jerusalem next to his eldest daughter.
