Water Denied

"Israel is squeezing the life out of the Palestinians"

A leaflet from Amnesty International telling me how the Israeli military are destroying the water cisterns, hoses and reservoirs of Palestinians in order to drive them out of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. When the people try to bring water back to their houses, the Israelis shoot holes in the containers.

Farmer Fa'iq Ahmad Sbeih told Amnesty International "This is my family's livelihood, we work day and night and we need water; and the weather is getting hotter every day. i can't buy another pipe; and if I do the army may come and take it again."
