While shepherds watched their flocks...
http://www.btselem.org/video/cdp_background Ahmad Jundiya is 18 years old, and lives in a cave with 10 members of his family, in Tuba in the South Hebron Hills (part of the occupied Palestinian territory). He calls himself a 'part time student, part time shepherd'. Ahmad and his family suffer daily harassment from settlers living in the nearby settlements of Ma'on and Karmel. This includes verbal and physical abuse, and also the stealing of their property -- including Ahmad's sheep.
Christian Aid partner B'Tselem, a leading Israeli human rights organisation, has been helping Ahmad fight back against the settlers through non-violent resistance. Everyday Ahmad heads out to herd his sheep armed with his most powerful weapon: his video camera.
Watch this audio-slideshow to see how the camera is making a difference in lives of Ahmad and his family.
