Lives changed forever

Over the past year, Israel’s violent crackdown on Palestinian protests has altered many people’s lives drastically.

An overwhelming majority of protesters wounded by live fire had their lower limbs targeted.

Frontline doctors told MEE this suggested Israeli snipers were intentionally maiming Palestinians, creating a generation of disabled youth.

Here are three stories on Palestinians caught up in Israel's crackdown:
