Israeli occupation forces attack a Hebron orphanage
The Popular Committees slams army attack against a Hebron orphanage
Tuesday April 01, 2008 07:03 by IMEMC News
The Palestinian Popular (Folk) Committees issued a press release on
Monday slamming the Israeli occupation Army’s attack against an
orphanage in Al Salaam Street in the southern West Bank city of Hebron.
The Committees stated that soldiers invaded the areas and broke into The
Charitable Home for Female Orphans and searched all of its floors and
rooms.
Recently the Israeli occupation government issued an order to confiscate
all the belongings of the orphanage but the legal period for appealing
and implementing the order ends in two days.
Azmi Shiokhy, secretary-general of the Popular Committees, stated that
nearly 200 orphans are living in the orphanage, and that they are
students at the school which belongs to the Islamic Charitable Society.
The Islamic Charitable Society is now the only shelter which remained
for the orphans, yet the Israeli occupation
government are threatening to shut it down and confiscate its
properties.
Al-Shiokhy slammed the attack and appealed Human Rights groups to
intervene as dozens of orphans in Hebron district will be rendered
homeless.
