’Israel’ Leaves 80 Children at Mercy of August Sun

Local Editor

In one of its more widespread acts of demolition, the Zionist entity's so-called "Civil Administration" last week left 127 men, women and children without shelter in 42-degree-Celsius heat.

The so-called "Israeli" "Civil Administration" - the Zionist entity's governing body in the besieged West Bank - demolished and destroyed several Palestinian properties.

Hudeifa, a 1-year-old baby, is covered in dust from head to foot. She no longer has a home, a roof, not even a tent; nor does her father, Ali Hussein Abdullah, or any of the 24 members of her family, some of whom are also sheltering in the shade of the tree, along with chickens that survived the raid.

The toddler is among the 127 people suffering the same plight, 80 of them children and infants, in the two sites of last week's devastation - in the Jordan Rift and next to the occupied West Bank settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim, close to al-Quds [Jerusalem].

These are two of the three sites of "Israel's" so-called "ethnic-cleansing" efforts [the third is in the South al-Khalil Hills]. These occupied territories sites are meant to be annexed by the entity one day, to come under its dominion; until then, they need to be made ready, cleaned out.

The Bedouin population in these areas is the weakest link, so naturally, they were chosen by the "administration" to bear the brunt of its malicious abuse. It's all done under the law and by its enforcers, those bureaucrats of the occupation.

The village of Fasayil is divided into three compounds, two of them built up. Between them is an area in which the "Civil Administration" doesn't allow permanent homes to be built - so the people live in tents here, although that's also prohibited.

Last Tuesday morning, "administration" personnel rode in on 15 standard and two all-terrain vehicles eradicate the homes of the Abdullah family.

Fourteen of the structures at the site - tents and shacks - were demolished, based on some incomprehensible logic.

Hence, the demolition of the houses caused the displacement of Hudeifa and her family who had been living under a tree in the company of other families affected by the demolition.

The International Red Cross, the UNICEF in addition to several other NGOs had provided support and humanitarian aid for the homeless families.

Accordingly, the Zionist entity had been issuing demolition orders since May displacing scores of Palestinian families in the occupied territories.
