Jordan Valley Solidarity volunteers, who helped to rebuild a family home in Jiftlik demolished by the Occupation Forces , are returning to rebuild the house of again next week.

The house of Sued Al Kha’abne was demolished at 10am on Wednesday 20th November, with the occupation forces giving the family no time to remove their few possessions from their home.

The family’s home was previously demolished just 3 months ago. It is home to 10 people. The mother is distraught, the father is blind in one eye, and it is left to the girls and the mother to rebuild the shelters for their animals and themselves.

In a desperate attempt to stop their home from being demolished again, they paid a Palestinian Authority lawyer 3000 shekels (around £500) to challenge the legalities of the impending demolition.

They now have to face a winter with nothing but a shelter covered with plastic. When they saw the volunteers visit the ruins of their home in preparation to help work with them again they said: “Please, take pictures of us and let the world know what Israeli’s are doing to us.”

Asked of her feelings following the destruction of her home one of the young girls said that she wanted to convince her parents to leave this place and go to and live elsewhere. However, to the family this is their home, and they want to be able to stay.
