JORDAN VALLEY, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) cut off the power supply to the impoverished Palestinian village Al-Jiftlik, located in the Jordan Valley, at the pretext of its residents’ failure to pay the electricity bills.
Local sources said that the Israeli electricity company claimed that the villagers failed to pay it $200,000 in arrears.
The sources told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the IOA denies the village many public services at the pretext of its location at a military zone, prevent its natives from earning their living properly and building homes, and control the use of their own lands and water sources.
The sources affirmed that the power cut-off is mainly aimed at stopping the farmers from using their well pumps to irrigate their cultivated lands and thus destroy the agricultural life in the village.
The sources noted that the presence of electricity debts is something normal in all Palestinian towns, especially in a village like Al-Jiftlik, whose people are deprived of their means of livelihood.
