School puzzle - These children come from a family with West Bank identity papers, but will be living on the wrong side of the separation barrier when it has been built. Terry is particularly concerned about them because they have no right to be educated in Jerusalem municipality schools.

Divided community - Part of Abu Dis already has a separation wall, put there by Israel to stop Palestinian West Bankers who do not have Jerusalem identity papers entering the city. However, the people of Abu Dis have been told that the work going on to the south of this will result in an eight-metre high wall. - BBC photo

'Bulldozers like monsters' As Terry and her colleague Manal Erekat approach the bulldozers at work on the doorstep of the Sarkhi house, Manal reveals that this is her family's land. The Erekats were told by the Israeli authorities that their land was being confiscated for "security reasons", making a legal challenge almost impossible. - BBC photo
