Official: Israel forbids construction of public park in Jenin village
Picture
Israeli authorities banned Palestinians from continuing construction on a park in the Jenin district village of Bartaa al-Sharqiya, a local official told Ma'an Thursday.

Tawfiq Qabha, a member of the village council, told Ma’an that volunteers established the park - the only public park in the village - four months ago.

Thursday morning, Qabha said, Israeli soldiers prevented locals from working on the park, saying that because they had not secured a construction permit, work on the park would have to stop.

He said that Israel has targeted Bartaa al-Sharqiya since 2003, when it began building the separation wall that now surrounds the village.

Israeli forces have imposed a checkpoint that has strictly limited freedom of movement for village residents, Qabha continued.

The village, inside the Bartaa enclave, is one of eight communities encircled by the separation wall. The area falls in what Israel defines as the Seam Zone, a quasi-military zone in which construction is forbidden without prior coordination with Israeli authorities, which is near-impossible to secure.

According to the UN, Around 7,500 Palestinians who reside in the Seam Zone require special permits to continue living in their own homes; another 23,000 will be isolated upon the wall's completion.

UNRWA, Japan Complete Rehousing Project in Gaza
Picture
UNRWA inaugurated 226 new shelters for over 1,200 Palestinian refugees whose homes were destroyed before the Israeli disengagement in 2005, said a press release by UNRWA’s office in Gaza on Monday. It noted that Makoto Honda, Deputy Representative of Japan to the Palestinian Authority, and Robert Turner, Director of Operations in Gaza for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), inaugurated 226 new shelters, built for over 1,200 Palestine refugees whose homes were demolished or damaged beyond repair prior to the Israeli disengagement in August 2005.

A donation of $12.4 million from the Government of Japan assisted the completion of the construction of the housing units and supported the construction of two schools, a health centre and a community centre, in Khan Younis.  

The donation, according to the press release, supported work on critical infrastructure systems including water, sewerage and electricity.

“We are grateful to the Government and the people of Japan for their commitment to the rehousing project in Gaza,” said Turner.

Even though the rehousing project commenced in 2006, political crisis such as the blockade on Gaza halted its progression.

The press release pointed out that despite UNRWA being one of the few agencies granted limited exemptions from the Israeli restrictions on importing construction materials, the approval for the housing units was not granted until 2011.   “During the interval, displaced families were forced to rent sub-standard or unsafe housing, or seek shelter with relatives who were themselves frequently overcrowded,” the press release stated.

Turner elaborated, “Almost a decade ago, the families who will live in the Japan-funded houses lost everything overnight, in an extremely painful reminder of their first displacement in 1948. We are grateful to Japan for standing by us and the Palestine refugees until we were able to complete the new shelters.”

On the other hand, Honda said, “You have suffered a lot in the wake of your homes being demolished. It must have been one of the hardest times of your lives, and life has not been easy ever since.”
