21 Palestinians denied travel last week at Allenby crossing

Saturday 7-July-2018

The Israeli occupation authority prevented 21 Palestinian passengers from traveling from the West Bank to Jordan through Allenby (King Hussein) border crossing during last week.

According to the Palestinian Authority police on Saturday those passengers were denied travel by the Israeli side for unexplained security reasons.

However over 62000 Palestinian and foreign passengers were able to travel in both directions of the crossing during the same week.

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.
