Notifying the Electricity Network in Um Sadra

Violation: notifying the electricity network and other structures.

Victims: residents of Um Sadra – Hebron.

Perpetrators: the Israeli Occupation Civil Administration.

 

On March 12, 2012, the Israeli Occupation Civil Administration issed several stop-work and demolition orders against structures in Um Sadra. The orders also targeted the electricity network in the village. The orders said that the structures were unlicensed and specified April 2, 2012, as the date of the hearing session to be held in Beit El Military Court in regard to the structures.

 

The electricity network is 2 km long covering most parts of the village. Um Sadra was connected to the electricity in 2009 when the locals paid all the fees. The network serves 25 families who used to depend on power generators.

 

   

 

The locals fear for the electricity network and were feeling that it might face the same fate of Gwain. They stated that they will be forced to use gas generators which they used to use for short times and with a high cost. Other threatened structures included:
