   This open meeting will explore the environmental aspects of Israeli
    occupation in the Jordan Valley, with first hand accounts from the
    Palestinian coordinator of Jordan Valley Solidarity, Fathe Khdirat.

    Fathe will be accompanied by fellow Palestinian activist Itaf Njoum
    Karma. Itaf works closely with the Bedouin community of Al Auja, who
    have faced persistant theft of their water resources by Israel, alongside
    house demolitions and destruction of the community built school where
    she also volunteers as a teacher.

    The talk will also cover the actions of French multi-national Veolia,
    which runs the Tovlan landfill next to the Palestinian village of Al Jiflik.
    Whilst the Palestinians of the Jordan Valley are denied basic amenities,
    Veolia provide waste collection services to Israeli settlements.
