Al Jazeera English documentary on Israel stealing Yemeni babies

In 2022 and 2023, I worked as a researcher on an Al Jazeera Arabic film about Yemeni Jewish babies being stolen by Israel in the 1950s. It’s a largely hidden story.

It screened in October 2023.

The documentary has now been translated into English and has just been broadcast on Al Jazeera English.
