 | Some 400 Israeli settlers, protected by 5,000 Israeli soldiers, have used intimidation and violence to drive Palestinian shopkeepers from the center of the ancient city of Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank.
Although several dozen U.N.-related international monitors document the violence, little has changed in recent months, and many businesses have closed and their owners have moved away. Many claim that is the ultimate goal of the settlers, who believe that they have a divine right to the land around Hebron.

 | Jenin camp
"This was our house," say Nuha and Nada Mujermi, who lost everything when a military bulldozer razed their home during the battle. "We were hiding next door with 17 people in one room…for eight days. The soldiers were on the roof above us. Anyone who went out would be shot – young or old." says Nuha. As the siege wore on, children in the group called out to the soldiers that they were hungry and the soldiers threw them biscuits.

 | Jenin camp
The 13,000 inhabitants of Jenin's refugee 'camp' are originally from 58 villages in what is now Israel. They sought refuge here when Palestine was partitioned in 1948. The thousands whose homes here were destroyed in April are refugees again, 54 years later. |
 | Jenin camp
On the perimeter of the battlefield, holes punched by rockets or armored bulldozers have opened homes up like doll houses.
This battle scars every family in Jenin in some way, like 18 months of conflict affect every family in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. Nearly half the Palestinian population now lives below the poverty line. Per capita income has fallen by one-third since the current cycle of violence began 18 months ago. |

 | Jenin camp
In a show of defiance and patriotism, flags fly over the rubble of Jenin's refugee camp and a tent in the Palestinian national colors is pitched on a tilting slab of concrete. But the rubble itself speaks louder than political symbols. Jenin is a monument to the futility of seeking security through ever-harsher reprisals. The mood at this scene of devastation is a warning that violence will end only when there are hard and equitable compromises over the competing national claims between Israel and Palestine. |

For many - not least many of Afghanistan's children - the current alternative to food aid is starvation. In response to this situation, ACT members have raised some US $ 2.5 million in order to deliver much needed assistance to more than 60,000 families during 2001.
