IOA blocks travel of 43 Palestinians last week

Saturday 24-December-2016

The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) prevented over the past week 43 Palestinians from traveling via Karama border crossing that links between Jordan and occupied West Bank.

In a press statement the PA police affirmed that Israeli forces denied the passage of 43 Palestinian travelers via Karama crossing under “security pretexts” without providing further explanation.

During the same reported period 27000 Palestinian travelers’ passage was allowed in both directions.

Karama crossing is the only land-passage available for the residents of the West Bank to travel to the outside world.

The Israeli occupation authorities deliberately block thousands of Palestinians from travelling through Karama border crossing each year.
