A Young World - The Palestinian Territories

Episode 4 of 4

What is it like living in a country where most people are young? Nida Ibrahim reports from the Palestinian territories.

The Palestinian territories have the youngest population in the Middle East with a median age under 21. How do these young people express themselves culturally? Nida Ibrahim, the BBC’s Ramallah producer, finds the challenges of conservatism and poverty mean that artists and performers find they have to struggle to be recognised – with many only able to find an audience via new media.
