The Palestinian prisoner Fatima Alziq is a mother of nine children one of them is baby Joseph. Her children are deprived of their right of meeting their mother and their baby brother Joseph who was born fifteen months ago inside the prison. Her children suffer a collective punishment like most Palestinian children. All children need their mothers; Fatima’s children are no exception.
Fatima a 40 year old mother from the Gaza Strip was deprived of her right to see any of her children since the day she was arrested two years ago by the Israeli authorities. She and her niece Rawda Habeeb were arrested at the Eretz crossing in Bait Hanoun when they were on their way to a hospital in Israel for a medical operation needed for Rawda. Her husband Mohammed is suffering and struggling day in day out since then with 8 children who keep requesting to see their mother and their baby brother who was born a prisoner too.
