The West Bank's first dog shelter

On nearly every street in the occupied West Bank you see stray dogs wandering about, or scrapping, or lounging in the sun. From time to time they're hit by cars, or abused by humans. There are vets in the West Bank, but many of the surgeries are poorly equipped and anyway they're more geared up for treating farm animals than pets. But one Palestinian woman, Diana Babish, has made it her mission to look after them. Our reporter Yolande Knell went to meet her.
