AL-KHALIL (HEBRON): A week in photos 5-11 April 2015

Below is a sampling of the Palestine team’s best photos for the week of 5-11 April 2015.  Life in the Old City of Hebron has its daily traumas, but also its moments of beauty.

 

BLOCKADED

 

Pictured here: A group of young Palestinian girls make their way past an Israeli military blockade in front of Al Fayha Elementary School. In the days surrounding Passover, CPT witnessed a surge in the amount of Israeli military and a rise in the restriction of movement for Palestinians.

CHILDHOOD SEGREGATED

 

Pictured here: One of the kindergartners that CPT accompanies to school stands on the littered, broken path by the apartheid fence. On the other side of the fence is a bouncy castle put up for Israeli children, in the park where Palestinian children are not allowed.

MOON RISE OVER HEBRON

 

“I have many memories. I was born as everyone is born.
In the deep horizon of my word, I have a moon, a bird’s sustenance, and an immortal olive tree. I have lived on the land long before swords turned man into prey.
I belong there.”
-from I Belong There by Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian poet

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
