The Israeli army blocked a convoy from delivering humanitarian aid to the Palestinian residents of Jordan Valley in northern West Bank, an aid worker said Saturday.
The convoy was carrying winter outfits, mattresses, food and toys for about 30 families whose makeshift shelters were destroyed by stormy weather recently, said the aid worker named Nedaa Yousif.
The Israeli army gave no clear justification for preventing the 300-member convoy and the goods they were carrying from reaching the area, Yousif said.
The Jordan Valley territories make 26 percent of the West Bank and are largely under Israeli security and administrative control.
Nedaa Yousif organized a sit-in at an Israeli army checkpoint on the way to Jordan Valley, protesting the Israeli measures against the aid convoy.
Nour Oudeh, the Palestinian government’s spokesperson, described banning the delivery of the goods as “very dangerous measures.”

Do they not realize the world IS aware of this now? Are they even partially or remotely sensing the coming tide that will be a tsunami they cannot fight nor hold back as it cleanses them out of Palestine? The land will be returned to the Palestinians one day and these ruthless, bloodthirsty barbarians will be made to apologize while on their knees begging for forgiveness. Oh yes ‘israel’ it WILL happen. Make no mistake about it. The party is over. You will pay and pay dearly for murdering, stealing, raping and torturing her children. You will pay. Count on it.
