Palestinian families living in Humsa and Hadidiya hamlets in the Jordan Valley region of the West Bank, part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, face a daily threat of forcible eviction from their homes by the Israeli army. Their movement is restricted and they are denied access to the water and land they need for survival. In this case sheet Amnesty international calls for the demolition and expulsion orders to be rescinded, for discrimination and harassment to end, and for confiscated property to be returned.
