A resident of the village of Nabi Saleh in the occupied West Bank, 11-year-old Janna Jihad Ayyad is Palestine's youngest amateur reporter

"I've never seen the sea," one child tells Janna, "only in photos."

The young reporter addresses the restrictions on movement in occupied Palestine. "We're like in a very big jail that we cannot go anywhere we want," Janna says, sharing a collection of interviews she conducted with other children in her village.

"I don't want the occupation to prevent us from travelling," says another child. "We want to travel whenever we like, not to have this occupation that shoots us and prevents us from travelling."
