The view of an agricultural project and targeted structures
The affected citizen (58 years) told as follows:
‘’I own a plot of land with total area about 150 dunams m2 , there has been a natural water spring since ancient times. A few years ago, I built a small pond next to a water spring to providing water to birds and animals, noted a water spring doesn’t have a strong water flow, producing only a few liters of water per a day as I established a water cistern to harvest rainwater in the cistern, a few months ago, I was selected from rehabilitating lands project that carried out by LRC in the area, then the land was rehabilitated that water spring and water cistern were in it and planted it with grape saplings, but I shocked about the occupation’s notice in the location demanding me to halt work in the project.’’

It’s worth mentioning that a section of a new bypass road (road no.60) or named Al Aroub Bypass passing to west of citizen karajeh’s lands and just 80 meters away from it.
