Israeli settlers have dumped waste into the al-Auja Spring, north of the Wast Bank city of Jericho, to deprive Palestinians of potable water, the al-Baidar organisation for defending the rights of the Bedouins told the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Hassan Mlihat, the organisations’ general supervisor, said the surrounding Bedouin communities used to fill their tanks at the stream for personal consumption and to feed their cattle.
He added that the dumping of toxic waste posed a threat to the health of residents in the short and long term, as well as an imminent environmental danger, in violation of international law.
