108 Palestinians barred from traveling at Allenby crossing last month

Thursday 4-July-2019

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) prevented last month June 108 Palestinian passengers from traveling through Allenby (King Hussein) border crossing with Jordan.

The Palestinian Authority police said those passengers were denied travel by the IOA for unexplained security reasons.

However about 230000 Palestinians and foreign passengers were able to travel in both directions of the crossing during the same month the police added.

Allenby crossing also known as al-Karama is a bridge that spans the Jordan River and connects the West Bank with Jordan.

The bridge is the sole designated exit and entry point for West Bank Palestinians traveling in and out of the Israeli occupied territories.
