Earlier this year Israel issued illegal eviction notices to Palestinians, paving the way for extremist Israeli settlers to steal the homes of those who have been settled for decades in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. Peaceful protests have been taking place by residents of Sheikh Jarrah to gain their human rights back. Israeli forces retaliated and attacked Al Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan, whilst Palestinians were praying. Over 600 people were wounded over 3 days.
The attacks are continuing and innocent people are losing their homes, families and lives every single day. We wanted to dedicate an episode in order to raise awareness and educate people on these attacks. We need to continue sharing, posting and informing people on the atrocities taking place. #GazaUnderAttack #SaveSheikhJarrah #FreePalestine
