While Israel declares Jerusalem its united Capital, the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted how divided it really is.
Some East Jerusalem villages and neighbourhoods are separated by the Wall, and the Palestinian Authority is not allowed to operate in areas Israel considers to be part of Jerusalem.
This webinar brings together speakers from Jerusalem, who will explain the complexity of the occupation; the impact of the coronavirus; and how Palestinians are organising to ensure the coronavirus is contained.
