Call for Action Against House Demolitions in Al Farisiya and Fasayil

On 19th July 2010 the Israeli army demolished 26 homes in Al Farisiya in the Jordan Valley making 107 more Palestinians homeless.

It works with displaced and threatened communities within the Jordan valley that are being harassed by the Israeli Occupation Force.
