International Committee of the Red Cross calls on Israel to ensure safe and adequate access for Palestinians to their olive groves in the West Bank during the yearly olive harvest season
Palestinian farmers are once again at risk of losing their livelihoods around the West Bank, and some other areas as they face"acts of harassment and violence" by Israeli settlers, International Committee of the Red Cross said.The International Committee of the Red Cross has called on Israel to ensure safe and adequate access for Palestinians to their olive groves in the West Bank during the yearly olive harvest season.
“For years, the ICRC has observed a seasonal peak in violence by Israeli settlers residing in certain settlements and outposts in the West Bank towards Palestinian farmers and their property in the period leading up to the olive harvest season, as well as during the harvest season itself in October and November,” said Els Debuf, head of the ICRC's mission in Jerusalem.
“Farmers also experience acts of harassment and violence that aim at preventing a successful harvest, not to mention the destruction of farming equipment, or the uprooting and burning of olive trees. This is an important concern that we continue to share with the authorities in charge,” she added.Olive harvest is never easy for Palestinian families living near the West Bank barrier or close to the settlements.
We ask for efficient coordination and protection to be put in place to enable free and safe access for the farmers to their olive groves.🫒🫒
