Palestinian street vendors sound alarm over Israeli crackdowns

Wednesday 3-January-2018

A number of West Bank NGOs have denounced the simmering Israeli violations and attacks against street vendors in Jenin province.

Jenin’s NGOs and Commercial Chamber said in a Wednesday statement that Israeli bulldozers destroyed groceries and vegetable stores on Nazareth Street near al-Jalama crossing point.

The statement added that such measures are flagrant violations of Palestinians’ human rights.

The destroyed caravans and stores reportedly belong to Palestinian vendors Fayez Shaaban Majed Nassar and Mourad al-Badawi.

For hundreds of Palestinians across the unemployment-stricken occupied territories street selling represents the sole source of income to feed their families and children.
