Bethlehem – Ma’an – The Agricultural Development Association (Agricultural Relief) in Bethlehem Governorate organized a volunteer campaign to help farmers in the town of Janata in picking olives, in cooperation with the Janata Municipality.

This campaign comes within the activities of the “We Are With You” campaign to help olive pickers in areas threatened with confiscation and close to settlements that are exposed to attacks by settlers and the occupation army.

A group of farmers, agricultural relief volunteers and employees, in addition to community protection committees, participated in the campaign in the locations of Janata and Al-Khader town in the governorate. The campaign targeted a group of farmers in the Harmalah area, which covers an area of ??20 dunams.

The Agricultural Relief aims through the ‘We Are With You’ campaign to help farmers pick olives by mobilizing large groups of volunteers in the most threatened areas and accelerating the picking process. The presence of volunteers and the media
also provides a kind of protection for farmers and their families and reduces the risk of them being attacked.
