Israel steals about 80% of the water resources of the West Bank .

On Monday, 19th July, 2010, Border Police units again visited the Baq''a valley in the West Bank , accompanied by labourers. They destroyed a cistern that collects rainwater, and uprooted irrigation pipes that were supplying another 16 dunums (dunum=1000 sq.m.) of farmland with water, while destroying vegetables.  Women and children who resisted were physically beaten up by the border police.
