Storm worsens conditions in Palestinian villages of northern Jordan Valley

The continued rainfall has further worsened the living conditions for residents of the Bedouin encampments in the northern Jordan Valley in Palestine, Wafa news reported. 

The persistent rainfall has made movement difficult due to the absence of paved roads and streets, the report quoted residents as saying. 

They added that livestock herders have been unable to access available grazing lands near their tents, as settlers continue to seize thousands of hectares of grazing land.

The weather has exposed the lack of basic infrastructure in the Palestinian villages across the northern Jordan Valley due to Israeli restrictions on construction.
