We’ve written here, here, here and here about the different ways the Atta’a Assistance Center for the Rights of East Jerusalem residents has been helping East Jerusalem Palestinian residents realize their rights. They’ve been operating since 2004, and Atta’a has been even more important since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.

As part of its efforts to help East Jerusalem residents, Atta’a has been reaching out in various ways – through individual assistance, updates to its website, Facebook posts, and videos.

On October 13, 2020, Atta’a Director Daud Aliyan was interviewed by Al-Quds Digital, a social media-based station, about different unemployment benefits and the National Insurance Institute, and directions on how to submit the necessary forms. You can watch the video in Arabic here:
