The 19 year-old student lives between tents in Wad Al Amaire, a small Palestinian community of farmers south of Hebron. She is the only one in her community that is a University student. The Israelian army has cut their water and destroied her families house seven times. They also buildt a stonewall around the little base of tents and small houses and prohibited them to go outside their area. (1m2). They want her family to move. - I have no life. But I try to give my mother some source of joy. I live in prison. I want to be free. (Ingeborg: I hope to go to her house again tomorrow, but it can be too dangerous to go to the field. Some weeks ago it was known that some Israelian had bought a house in the old-city that used to be Palestinian. The palestinians now claims that the house is stolen and has announced a demonstratioin. There is fear of clashes tomorrow between the groups....)

The mother is 33 year-old, expecting her fifth child in January. Her children are playing on what was left by the Israelian soldiers. It used to be her house.

The young boy Josef is still easily frightened and wets his pants every time he sees a soldier. MSF has helped him with pshycotherapy and through their drawings and playing together he is doing better. His house was destroyed, but used to be on the ground behind him, between the tentsw you can see in the back. With help from an Non Governal Organisation his mother could build a new house. His father is out of work since the Israelis closed the access to Israel for most Palestinians on the West Bank.

What word could exist to describe the feeling you get when you make a bizarre safari in peoples tragedies? I don’t know. We are all tired of it. Listening about the suicide – bombers on buses in Tel aviv. Listening about peace negotiations that don´t lead anywhere. The Annapolis conference coming up this week is another political meeting that rises the threats and fear here in the west –banc. The security precautions here within the MSF (Doctors without borders) is also stronger.
If we are tired, imagine how it is for the people in the Middle East. For the girl that has to cross 4 checkpoints every day just to be able to go to school. For the 19 year-old that has experienced her house to be destroyed seven times with bulldozers in the middle of the night. She was draged out of her sleep and pointed at with a gun. She has spent months of winters in a tent. Still she tries to keep her dream alive. The dream of being able to walk 100 meters from her home without fearing a soldier.

- This is no life. I get angry when I see children of settlers playing. The Israelis stole my childhood. My life is all about fear, she says.

Today I visited three families. One is a beduine- family living in the district area of Hebron. The mother, aged 33, is expecting her fifth child. She woke up in February by soldiers standing outside her little house she bought for her own money years ago. The soldiers didn’t come by foot. The soldiers arrived in a bulldozer. Within few hours her house was gone.
- You have been warned. You should go and live in the village, they shouted at her in Hebrew. Hundred meters away jewish settlers from Russia and other parts of Eastern- Europe is building their houses. The standard is not even close to western standards. The settlers here are poor people coming to the promised land, to occupy land for free.
- They didn’t grow up her. I did, the 33 year-old mother says with intense anger.
The soldiers choosed to come in wintertime. They completed their mission while the mother was left outside with her four sons, bearfeet in the cold night. The soldiers threatened to kill every neighbour that would try to come to her rescue.
In this areas it gets freezing in the night. In the morning she managed to get help and was brought to hospital with her three months old baby. His condition was critical. Spending the night outside in the cold, with a mother suffering of a nervous breakdown in an extremely tense situation, made him go into illness that kept him three months in hospital. His mother was out after three weeks. She couldn’t sleep, eat, not even stand on her feet because of the terror that had struck her body. Her son, Josef, would wet himself every time he saw an Israeli soldier. He would not sleep, and when he finally slept, he would scream of fear in his dreams. His older brothers started to get aggressive.
MSF has supported this people with a psychologist. Since January this year four different therapists have visited 600 different clients. They were the one with visible symptoms of suffering from trauma caused by interference with Israeli settlers or police. The rest are on their one.

On the other side of the boarders the young Israelian soldiers are put to control the Palestinian. The Israelian army has a high number of suicides among their young militants. For some the orders they get are to though to carry out. The Israeli also has to deel with news like which we received yesterday. Two muslims from the west-banc area was stopped on their way to Jerusalem. They had explosives on them and were ready to spend their next life in Paradise.
