A  report on house demolitions in the occupied Palestinian territory

Speaking at the launch event will be: Salam Kanaan, Save the Children's UK Country Director for the occupied Palestinian territory, Philippe Lazzarini, Head of Office, UN OCHA, Rana Nashishibi, Director, Palestinian Counselling Centre and Bernard Sabella, Jerusalem Palestinian Legislative Council Member.

A representative of the Welfare Association will also be present at the event.
