Young man arrested in Al Hadidiya

We have just heard that a young man from Al Hadidiya has been arrested whilst walking from Al Hadidiya, near the land that Roi settlement has stolen from the community. He is just 19 years ols and the son of Abu Saqr. His family saw the army take him, but have been given no information about why he's been arrested, where he is, how long he'll be held, or what he's been arrested for.

This harrassment is not new, in fact we have been told that it is commonplace, but that doesn't relieve a parent's fears for what might happen to their child.

Running water to Al Farisiya

Whilst we are here we plan to collect together some information about the way Israel prevents Palestinian communities from having access to water and the work that Jordan Valley Solidarity has been doing with communities to enable them to survive and continue to stay on their land.

Two days ago we visited Al Farisiya, and have posted a report and photos from our visit at http://www.jordanvalleysolidarity.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=207:running-water-to-al-farisiya&catid=14:2009&Itemid=21
