Checkpoints, Closed Shops, Not Enough Medicine: Hawara Has Become a Ghost Town
The Israeli military has set up roadblocks, cutting the West Bank Palestinian town in two, making it difficult to move or reach surrounding communities. Residents think twice about leaving the house for fear of settler attacks. The military says it has ordered troops to allow free pedestrian traffic
Hawara’s main thoroughfare is eerily deserted on weekends, even in broad daylight. There are no Palestinian cars, and soldiers are the only pedestrians. Normally, the businesses at the shopping center in the Palestinian West Bank town are alive with activity.
