July 16, 2003 Pictures from Jayouss

Greetings all,
here are a few pictures of Jayyous, the village i have been living in for the past couple of weeks.

The first photo is of a non-violent protest march which happened a couple of days ago in this village.

The next few are of the camp which farmers in this village have set up on the far side of the "security wall" which israel is building. The village will lose over 75% of its land to the building of the wall and because farmers are being harassed and beaten by private security guards of the construction company that is building the wall, farmers have set up make-shift shelter in their fields. They are not allowed by Israel to build anything permanent (even though it is their own land in the West bank).

Hope everyone is well.
