Palestinian children in Jenin crawl beneath Israeli military gates to reach their school each day, according to Al Jazeera English. The checkpoint restricts movement between neighborhoods, forcing students to bypass the barrier rather than use conventional passage.
Children must squeeze under the gate structure to attend classes. The practice forces students to navigate physical obstacles as part of their daily commute to school in occupied territory.
