STORYLINE: Palestinians who are jailed for what Israel calls security offences are not allowed conjugal visits. Israeli prisons deprive Palestinian prisoners who are serving long or life sentences of the right to be alone with their wives. For that reason, many of them try to smuggle sperm out of prison to their wives to be used in in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF is a way to treat infertility and difficulty in conceiving. In this process, mature eggs are collected, and they are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. The fertilized egg is then implanted in the uterus. Sperm can live for up to two days under the right circumstances before it needs to be frozen for use in the fertilization process. Sometimes the sperm does not arrive in good condition and the fertilization process fails. Then, the couple has to repeat the sperm smuggling process. In 2020, eight detainees succeeded in smuggling sperm and their wives brought nine kids into the world, including twins. Palestinians call these children “ambassadors of freedom” because they constitute a link between the detainee in Israeli prisons and his family. Footage by / APAwire

The Ministry of Health holds a press conference to talk about Israel's prevention of the entry of health devices into Gaza's strip hospitals, in front of Erez crossing in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. STORYLINE: The land, air and sea blockade of Gaza, which entered its 15th year in June 2021, with its restrictions on the movement of people, goods and trade, continues to severely undermine Gaza’s socio-economic situation and has precipitated a humanitarian and economic crisis that is jeopardizing the lives and dignity of all Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. This dire situation was compounded by the May 2021 hostilities, the most intense Gaza has experienced since 2014. The UN Secretary-General described the situation as follows: “If there is a hell on earth, it is the lives of children in Gaza today.” In addition to the loss of lives, the injuries and trauma, the May hostilities damaged buildings, hospitals and health centres, water and sanitation facilities, and transport, energy and communications networks. The Palestinian National COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign in Gaza started on 7 March. However, insufficient quantities of vaccinations and community hesitancy has resulted in a slow implementation – only 334,917 people had been fully vaccinated by the end of October 2021.

RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Jerusalem - 21 January 2022. Israeli settlers fenced off a plot of land in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah belonging to the Salem family. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Fatima Salem. STORYLINE Israeli settlers fenced off a plot of land in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah belonging to the Salem family WAFA agency said that a group of Israeli settlers led by Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King, under heavily-armed police protection, braged their way into the neighborhood, where they re-installed barbed wires around a plot of land belonging to the Salem family as a prelude to seize it. She added that the intruders physically assaulted members of the Salem family, inflicting fractures on a woman’s hand. Police previously warned the family against participating in any solidarity activities denouncing settlers’ attempts to forcibly displace them and takeover their house in the neighborhood, and quelled such activities during the past month. On December 16, and a day after settlers fenced off a plot of land belonging to the family for the first time, the Salem family, comprising 11 members, received an order to “evict” them from the house they lived in for over 70 years in favor of settler organizations, who alleged they had purchased the house from Jewish owners who had owned the house before 1948. The neighborhood has become a scene of massive protests against Israel’s settler in since the Israeli authorities decided to forcibly expel dozens of families from their houses in favor of settler groups. Palestinians have maintained that the Israeli authorities decision to “evict” the families from their houses in favor of the settler groups is politically-motivated and comes as part of Israel’s efforts to ethnically cleanse Jerusalemite Palestinians. Since the occupation of Jerusalem by Israel in June 1967, Israeli settlers colonial organizations, including Elad and Ateret Cohanim, have claimed ownership of Palestinian property in Jerusalem. Backed by the Israeli state, judiciary and security services, these organizations have been working on wresting control of Palestinian property and convert it into colonial outposts as part of the efforts to ensure a Jewish majority in the city, as well as on managing archaeological sites in Silwan and overseeing their excavation. This scheme involves building new colonial tourist sites, such as the “City of David”, to bolster their propaganda. Footage by APAwire
