Israel facilitates return of W. Bank workers to spread virus

Monday 30-March-2020

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission have accused the Israeli occupation army of attempting to spread coronavirus in the Palestinian Authority areas of the West Bank after allowing dozens of Palestinian workers to return from Israeli areas without informing the Palestinian side or taking anti-coronavirus measures.

The Commission an affiliate of the Palestinian Authority said that the Israeli occupation army facilitated the return of Palestinian workers who were infected with the virus in Israel to their villages and towns in the West Bank without going through emergency medical examination and quarantine committees.

The Israeli occupation forces at dawn Sunday unlocked some gates and barriers at separation walls and fences in Qalqilya and Tulkarem and allowed dozens of Palestinians who work in Israeli areas to return to their homes.

Such Israeli step has created confusion among the Palestinian security and medical crews who are keen to receive workers coming from Israeli areas to ensure they are not infected with coronavirus.
