This tool has crippled the ability of Umm Al Khair residents (and, indeed, the entire South Hebron Hills) to freely move from one point to another as the Israeli Police and Army confiscated all of the vehicles in the area under the pretext that they are “illegal”. We know the goal is not to enforce the law, but rather to put more pressure on the community to drive us out of our land. Stories of girls, women, boys, the sick and the elderly being stranded for long hours are abundant in the community due to the lack of any vehicles after all of them were confiscated by the occupation. However, We owe it to the people of Umm Al Khair to stop this detrimental policy from hindering the freedom of their movement. To enhance the steadfastness of the residents of Umm Al Khair and to make sure that the not only transportation needs of its population are met, the Umm Al Khair community is planning to purchase a vehicle ( a legal one) and this is where we need YOUR HELP WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE to buy a new car for the community. Your donations would be HIGHLY appreciated. You can donate using either of the following two accounts. Please specify that the donation is aimed at purchasing a vehicle for Umm Al Khair ( if you find that option or just donate and we will know it's from you).
