More than half of the Palestinian population (53.3%) is under 18 years
old. Estimated population by the end of 1998 indicates that, the number of
children under 18 years old amounted to 1.546 million, 49% of which are
females. The total Middle Eastern population under the age of 18 is
estimated at 79%. In 2025 it is estimated that more than 50% of the world
population will be under the age of 25. It is for this reason that we must
stand together in educating our youth so that the future generations of
the world can share common interests which exclude violence and war.
