AL-KHALIL (HEBRON): A week in photos 15-21 April 2016

Tear Gas 

Pictured here: An Israeli Border Police prepares to launch a tear gas canister at a group of children.  Children often throw rocks at the checkpoints and soldiers respond with tear gas and sound bombs.  The tear gas interrupts the morning walk to school for many kids.  In addition the tear gas floats into open shops and open windows of the homes that line the street.

Tear Gas Engulfs the Street

Pictured here:  The next day the Israeli Border Police shoot five tear gas canisters down the street.  The gas burns the eyes and makes breathing difficult.  Everyone out on the street must navigate these chocking clouds to get to work and school.

No Passage 

Pictured here: A young Palestinian youth pushes his bike under the barbwire at the checkpoint.  After passing his bike through, he crawled under himself.  The checkpoint turnstiles are too tight for a bike and the Israeli Border Police rarely open the gate for youth.

Palestinian Beauty

Pictured here: A rose grows in the garden of a Palestinian home in Hebron.  The occupation is brutal for the Palestinians.  Yet they still cultivate beauty all around.

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.
