West Bank: Israel turns off the tap

The year 2012  is ending with a sombre record – just in its first 10 months, Israeli armed forces destroyed 36 rainwater cisterns used by the Palestinian communities in the Area C of the West Bank, affecting over 1600 people, an increase from 34 cisterns destroyed in 2011. The communities whose cisterns were destroyed live unconnected to the water network and are forced to rely on rain harvesting and/or water purchases from vendors. Most of the communities that have been subject to demolition of cisterns live  near to Israeli 'settlements' and unauthorized outposts that enjoy a regular water supply.
