Palestinians living in East Jerusalem and the surrounding area face a number of daily challenges. Movement restrictions are a particular problem for those seeking to exercise their right to access religious sites in Old City of Jerusalem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Al Aqsa Mosque. EAs accompany Palestinians as they access their right to worship.

The eviction of families and demolition of homes is also a particular problem, including for the traditional herding communities living on the outskirts of the city. As more settlers move to the area, settler and military violence and harassment has increased and stop-searches, raids and arbitrary arrests have become frequent. EAs work alongside a number of Israeli and Palestinian peace groups to monitor and report on all of these issues.
