We are the Rweisat for Wood Art, human rights defenders actively participating in resilience in the village of Al Walajah.
Since the beginning of the war, the Israeli army's raids have increased almost daily in different places. This has resulted in many deaths, injuries and arrests. At the same time, violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians are widespread. As a result, many families have lost their income since the war broke out, because Palestinians from the West Bank are no longer allowed to work in Israel, and at the same time food prices have risen dramatically.
This led to a worsening of the economic situation in the West Bank, since the Israeli government stopped issuing work permits to Palestinians and the border crossings were closed to Palestinians, leading to the loss of their only source of income since the beginning of the war.
A human rights defender from Al Walajah said:
"The whole situation is very difficult and dangerous. My husband has not been able to work since October, which means no income for the family, and they have cancelled our health insurance. We need many different medicines and tests every month for our sick family members. I am desperately looking but I cannot find work and at the same time we have many financial obligations (living expenses) such as electricity, gas and internet. Last week we had no electricity for three days because the electricity is paid for in advance - if we do not refill the meter, the electricity is cut off. I am very worried, angry and tired of our accumulated debts".
Working with KURVE Wustrow and former peace activists, we are raising funds to buy seeds and saplings to improve the economic situation in the village due to the ongoing war.
It will cost around €6,000 to provide 100 families with gardening tools, compost-rich soil, seeds and saplings, and young fruit trees. This works out at around €60 per family and includes transportation costs, especially for land and fruit trees. Seeds and plants adapted to the seasons include: courgettes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, thyme, sage, beans, lettuce and corn.
