Yesterday was 'Land day' in Palestine, a day held every year to oppose Israel's seizure of Palestinian land and the demolition of Palestinian homes.
Here are some 'Land day' facts:
10% - The amount of the West Bank stolen by Israel when it built the separation wall.
103 - Palestinian homes demolished in east Jerusalem in 2009.
596 - Palestinians displaced due to house demolitions in east Jerusalem in 2009, including 281 children.
4,100 - Houses destroyed during the Israeli aggression against Gaza in December 2008.
500, 670 - The number of Israeli settlers in the West Bank, 17.2% of the West Bank population.
