Good day, My name is SamehMasri and Im the chairman of Palestine: Sport for Life Sports NGO in Palestine. I will talk to you today about the conflict situation in our country and how we use Sports for Development
Palestine is located in the Middle east, next to Jordan and the Mediterranean sea and this is our flag
Palestine has been occupied since 1948 by the Israelies , 7 million israelies have fled from Europe and around the world to Palestine, and as a result 11 million Palestinians are in exile now, a sepration racism wall built, many prisoners, and many settlements
As you can see, The green is Palestine in 1947 and after the occupation, nothing much is left of it at the moment as you can see in the white map .
