West Bank Webinar – the silent genocide
Since Oct 7th 2023 over 500 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed by the Israeli military, or settlers, including over 968 attacks by settlers on Palestinians and their property. Over 9000 Palestinians have been arrested, including 635 minors, and over 43,600 fruit and olive trees belonging to Palestinians have been destroyed. In the West Bank our partners are describing this as ‘the silent genocide’ which has passed almost unnoticed due to the terrible war on Gaza.
Join us as we hear from Rifat Kassis, who will update us on the situation in the West Bank, answer your questions, and together explore what action we can take to support Palestinians living in this violent and unpredictable situation.
Registration:
This event will take place on zoom, and there will be a limit of 100 people. Please register promptly if you wish to attend by clicking here.
Sabeel-Kairos UK at Greenbelt!
Planning is now well underway for the Sabeel-Kairos stall at this years Greenbelt.
We are excited to be able to promote the great work that we are doing, especially in the current climate, and are looking forward to having the opportunity to meet and engage with people who will be at the festival.
We have planned a small programme of activities which we are hoping will draw people into our stall, and are still looking for a few more volunteers to join our team; who are familiar with our work and might have a few hours to spare over the weekend to come and speak with people, serve Arabic tea or volunteer up their face painting skills.
Please get in contact with Claire at if you are going to be at Greenbelt and could give a little bit of time to come and serve on the stall. We’d love to have you!
We are recruiting!
Are you someone with a passion and commitment to the Palestinian people, who can organise events, mobilise people to campaign, and work with our partners in Palestine? If so you might be our new Events and Campaigns Officer! (more…)

Water resources
Palestinian domestic water supply averages 50 – 70 litres per capita per day (lpcd). The World Health Organisation recommends that minimum water supply be 100 lpcd to ensure good health and hygiene practices. Israeli domestic consumption averages 280 lpcd. In Tubas district (West Bank) average consumption for 48,000 Palestinians is 30 lpcd. In Beka’ot settlement (12km south of Tubas) residents consume around 401 lpcd.
