Picture 1-3: Ein al Hilwa
The Israeli Occupation has converted more than 70% of the total area of Wadi al Maleh into military zones and mine fields ripping the nomads gathering apart. Numerous casualties have been recorded during the past 5 years; casualties occurring due to random shootings and mines. The most recent victim was a boy who stepped on a mine while helping his father in herding.
7 military encampments and colonies spread all around Wadi al Maleh obstructing the expansion, natural growth, and development of 5 nomad gatherings spreading in the area. The Israeli colonies are slowly devouring what remains of Wadi al Maleh whereas Palestinians are deprived from their basic rights, rights that were granted by the International laws and conventions. 460 structures, serving around 2700 Palestinians, are about to become completely abandoned, if they remained, as a result of the Israeli measures.
