Waiting impatiently for the rain to have an area with plenty of food for the sheep
We drove towards the wells of El Hadidia to meet the shepherds, T + H, who went out to pasture. 4 days ago, there was a violent event in the area where settler Menachem from Hemdat hit one of Ta’ayush’s activists while trying to prevent him from smuggling the Sheep. As a result of this event and threats to the recent escorting of the shepherds in the area was increased.
Today we had a quiet and pleasant escort with no settler or army presence.
Waiting impatiently for the rain to have an area with plenty of food for the sheep.
Last year, these shepherds still crossed the road in the direction of Hemdat, for further grazing, but now they avoid doing it, so that no problems will arise with the settler. (His threats, and the military’s collaboration with him reduced the grazing area)
At the end of the pasture, we went to their tent to give clothes that we brought.
This is a pretty big community and would seem to be happy if we come back.
Jordan Valley
See all reports for this place-
Jordan Valley The Jordan Valley is the eastern strip of the West Bank. Its area consists of almost a third of the West Bank area. About 10,000 settlers live there, about 65,000 Palestinian residents in the villages and towns. In addition, about 15,000 are scattered in small shepherd communities. These communities are living in severe distress because of two types of harassment: the military declaring some of their living areas, as fire zones, evicting them for long hours from their residence to the scorching heat of the summer and the bitter cold of the winter. The other type is abuse by rioters who cling to the grazing areas of the shepherd communities, and the declared fire areas (without being deported). The many groundwaters in the Jordan Valley belong to Mekorot and are not available to Palestinians living in the Jordan Valley. The Palestinians bring water to their needs in high-cost followers.
