Good Morning Jerusalem

In the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, a beautiful building was allocated for a theatre and cultural centre. But, rather than fulfill its original purpose, the building has become home to Palestinian families who have found themselves with no roof over their heads. Some of them, natives of Jerusalem, have lost their permanent resident status; others have lost their homes to the municipality bulldozers; all of them are poor and disenfranchised.  They are a reflection of the grim reality faced by Palestinians in Jerusalem.
