Dhahiriya Municipality and Agricultural Development Association Sign Agreement to Implement a 2,100-Meter Water Transmission Pipeline for Al-Tayaran Community
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve essential services and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities, Dhahiriya Municipality, represented by Mayor Eng. Ali Abbas Al-Awaiysa, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Agricultural Development Association (PARC), in the presence of the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, to implement a water transmission pipeline project for Al-Tayaran community in Dhahiriya.
The initiative is part of the project "Enhancing Protection and Emergency Preparedness in Communities Affected by Settler Violence in the Southern West Bank," funded by Oxfam.
The project involves the construction of a water transmission pipeline approximately 2,100 meters long, extending from the municipality's designated water source to a storage reservoir with a capacity of 150 cubic meters.
The project aims to alleviate the suffering of Al-Tayaran residents caused by water shortages and difficulties in accessing the area with water tankers, while improving access to a more sustainable water supply.
Mayor Eng. Ali Abbas Al-Awaiysa emphasized the importance of this initiative in supporting residents' resilience and strengthening their ability to remain on their land, particularly in light of the difficult conditions and ongoing challenges facing communities in the area.
He also expressed his sincere appreciation to the Agricultural Development Association (PARC), represented by Mr. Fajr Al-Atawneh, and to the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, represented by Eng. Khalil Abu Aqifan from the South Hebron Agriculture Directorate, as well as Eng. Mahmoud Al-Zeir and legal officer Imad Abu Hawash from the Dhahiriya Agriculture Office.
The Mayor further thanked all teams and partners for their continued efforts to support farmers and assist local communities.
This project reflects the ongoing cooperation between Dhahiriya Municipality and its partners to develop water infrastructure, improve living conditions in marginalized communities, and strengthen residents' resilience and steadfastness on their land.
