Fuqiqis - soldiers spoiled the food donated to the Palestinians

At the Meitar checkpoint we met an Israeli from Tel Sheva who was on his way to do some shopping in Dahariya but had to return home after soldiers told him that the crossing was only open to settlers.

The checkpoint in the direction of Dahariya from Tene Omarim settlement is closed. Vehicles that arrived at the crossing had to make a U-turn and return, and not do their shopping. Vehicles that arrived in Dahariya and wanted to return through this checkpoint had to wait for hours until they were allowed to pass.

On Route 60 in the area of Zanuta, a military vehicle and a police vehicle are watching the shepherds and their herds roaming the area. At last, the locals get protection.

Construction continues on the side of the Eshtamoa settlement. We spoke on the phone with the son of Fares from Zanuta who forwarded to us a photo he took of the continued expansion of Eshtamoa.

Checkpoints are closed at the entrances to Samu’, Dura and Dura al-Fawwar.

Rania of Fuqiqis says that even the Red Cross does not visit them, and they lack food. We sent them food with her brother, but on the way to his house, soldiers stopped him, spilled the food in the car in order to check. They desperately need a gas cylinder for cooking, but are very afraid to buy and bring it by car and in the usual procedure they will be stopped on the way and harassed.

We must find a way to get them a gas cylinder.

The entrances to Hebron are closed. Yusri Jaber and his family cannot sell their fruits and vegetables. Most of them rot and perish. A livelihood that is being lost.
