As the number of Covid 19 cases increases in the West Bank, Palestinian workers in the Jordan Valley are being laid off with no wages. They are destitute and urgently need our support to survive.

A little bit of context

Jordan Valley Solidarity is coordinating mutual aid between Jordan Valley communities, but desperately needs donations to feed 50 families who have no savings, no access to financial support and cannot survive without our help.

As the rest of the world is advised to wash our hands and have regular hot drinks these families live in communities which are refused access to running water and electricity by the Israeli occupation forces.

After years of just surviving in precarious jobs that pay well below the minimum wage they have no resources, savings or insurance to help them survive over the coming months.

What we will do

With your donations we will deliver weekly food parcels to 50 families. A donation of £35 will pay for one food parcel, for one family, for one week. We urgently need to raise £2,000 to start this project.

Why donate to this appeal?

Palestinians are being denied the basic necessities to exist and their freedom of movement is being curtailed more than ever, but the occupation forces are continuing to put the lives of Palestinians at risk by carrying out house demolitions and raids on local communities. On 26th March a health clinic used by visiting field ambulances was destroyed in the village of Ibziq, along with a family home and three homes were demolished in the village of Duyuk Al Tahta, near Jericho.

Palestinians in the Jordan Valley are more vulnerable now than ever following Netanyahu’s declaration of intent to annex the Jordan Valley, Trumps ‘Deal of the century’ and the occupation’s theft of large swathes of Palestinian land under the pretence of creating “nature reserves” in January 2020.

You can join us

Once again, we are asking all our friends around the world to support us urgently: our slogan “to exist is to resist” has never been more true than it is now!
