‘We Haven’t Had a Drop of Water’: Palestinian Farmer on Settlers Taking Over West Bank Spring | APT

In the Jordan Valley village of Fasayil, Palestinian farmer Saad Nemer says settlers took control of an irrigation pipeline connected to a spring, cutting off water to his farmland. He says his fields and greenhouses have been left without water for three months.

But Milak still had even MORE to give the very next day, as he had both the 100 butterfly and the 400 free relay.
