WATER

water is a problem herE in Palestine.
The west bank only gets to use 1/5 of all the water. the rest Israel uses. In the west bank there is a lot of water recourses, but they have been cut of by Israle, the barrier/wall, or lies within the settlements. some have also been damaged by the settlers.
I visited a settlement the other day, and i got shocked. it was so green and in the middle of a roundabout there is a big fontane, that ´water just keep running out of. And than were i live there is no water. This years the oliveharvest will probely just last for 2 weeks because there has been no rain, and they don't have water to water the trees with. so not so much olives.

2 examples to show how little water we have, and how we are saving water is:

After using the toilet, we first wash our hands, the water goes down in a little bowl. we use this bowl for flushing the toilet.

the other is the showering time. i do not shower like u anymore, i have a bucket. I use half a bucket for washing. a full one when i am washing my hair.

And then in the settlement u see svimmingpools, water splashing out of fontens, and wateringhooses...

it is awful!
