Details: June 5 is World Environment Day. While Palestinians as a people are under constant threat and assault from the occupation, the environment around them, and on which they rely, bears similar attack. A community can’t hope to heal in an environment that is sick, and conversely, a society that is suffering is unable to aid the environment in its own recovery. With this in mind the Kumi Now community this week looks at the environmental effects the occupation and what we can do so that together we can rise up.

The following text is from the Tent of Nations FB page from May 26th sharing the news of another arson attack on the farm - "Today was a very hard day. While on our way to the farm after picking up some farming equipment for plowing from Bethlehem, we received a phone message that left us without words. Neighboring farmers informed us that our farm has been set on fire. Our day took a sudden turn as we rushed to the farm, tried to secure water to put out the fire with our very limited springs on the farm and call for help. It was appalling to watch the fire spread rapidly into further fields, damaging thousands of olive, almond and vine trees. Fortunately, we were able to get the situation under control with the help of family members and nearby villagers after spending seven hours in the smoke that made our eyes swell. It was very crushing to see that all the new trees we had planted and watered over the past five months disappeared in seconds. Until this moment we don't know what the cause of the fire was and what is behind it. We will let you know as soon as we know more."
