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 91Èȱ¬â€™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.
