Palestinian Land Day: 
Women's March to Polluted Wadi Qana 
 
Women for Life, a Palestinian women's group in the Salfit region,
invites international and Israeli women to join them as they march to
the polluted valley of Wadi Qana on Palestinian Land Day.  All press,
women and men, are encouraged to come.
 
WHEN - Wednesday, 30th March, 2005 at 11 am.
 
WHERE - Meet near the water treatment plant in Wadi Qana, walk down into
the valley towards the sewage.
 
Wadi Qana, a valley full of natural springs and perfect land for citrus
plants, was so polluted by the surrounding settlements that its 350
residents were forced to leave in 1986 and move to the village of Deir
Istya.  Most of the water wells have been stolen by these settlements
and outposts, which include Imanu'el, Yakir, Nevi Menachem, Karnei
Shomron, Nov Qana, and Givot Shomron.
 
Palestinian Land Day, known as 'Yom al-Ard' in Arabic, commemorates the
March 30, 1976 killing of six Palestinians in the Galilee by Israeli
troops during peaceful protests over the confiscation of Palestinian
lands.
 
Directions to Wadi Qana: The turnoff for the Wadi is from road 506,
about 3 kilometers north of Deir Istya.  You will see a green valley on
the left (west) and an agricultural road.  This is where you turn.  If
you need directions to Deir Istya, contact IWPS.
 
CONTACTS:
Um Milad (Arabic): 0547-514-783
IWPS (English): 09-251-6644
 
The International Womens Peace Service (IWPS) witnesses, documents and
publicizes human rights abuses and peacefully intervenes to try to
prevent them.  We support non-violent resistance to the illegal and
brutal Military Occupation of Palestinian lands.  We live in Hares,
Salfit.
