'Azzun
I brought a car full of goods for the shop.
Their current economic situation isn’t good. Zaharan isn’t working because of his surgery. The older children only have temporary jobs paying the ridiculous sum of NIS 50 per day. The shop doesn’t earn enough to meet their needs.
‘Azzun, dear ‘Azzun, when will they begin cleaning you up? The main streets have improved, new shops opened, elegant ones, and additional stores are under construction all along the road since the upgrade. But when you turn off into the alleys trash floods the streets.

Azoun (updated February 2019)
A Palestinian town situated in Area B (under civil Palestinian control and Israeli security control),
on road 5 between Nablus and Qalqiliya, east of Nabi Elias village. The inhabitants are allowed to construct and improve infrastructures. The Separation Fence has confiscated lands belonging to the town's people. In 2018 olive tree groves owned by one of its inhabitants were confiscated for the sake of paving a road to bypass Nabi Elias. Azoun population numbers 13,000, its economic state dire. Its infrastructures are poor, neglect and poverty rampant. In the meantime, the town council has completed paving an internal road for the inhabitants' welfare.
Because of its proximity to the Jewish settler-colony of Karnei Shomron and its outposts, the town suffers the intense presence of the Israeli army, especially at nighttime: soldiers enter homes, arrest suspects, trash the house and sometimes ruin it, as they do in numerous places in the West Bank. At times a checkpoint closes the entrance to the town, so no one can come in or get out.
