Israel/West Bank: Under Siege in Bethlehem
10 minutes, 2001
Ref: 262

We spent a day in one neighbourhood gaining a tragic insight into the siege of this holy town by the Israeli army. Palestinian gunmen are holed up in the Church of the Nativity. Israeli authorities suspect the rest of the ancient town is a haven for more Palestinian gunmen and suicide bombers. So the town is in lock down. Food and water is scarce. Hatred and the fear are not.
