I have 12 mouths to feed and no options: The eldest was thrown into jail, and I depend on a boy in sixth grade to provide for me\” This is how the mother of 12-year-old Ziad describes their life in East Jerusalem, a village surrounded by the Israeli separation wall.

This is a reality of families torn apart, a reality in which children are forced to grow up too fast.
