Water Scarcity in the West Bank.

In the scorching heat of a July day, Mansour Arara, a young Palestinian man, sits in the shade of a tree with his friends near the Al-Auja freshwater spring. His nephew and a friend splash in the cool water, oblivious to the growing tension that hangs heavy in the air. But this isn't just a day of fun in the sun; it's a desperate attempt to access a vital resource that is becoming increasingly scarce. The spring, a lifeline for nearby Palestinian towns, farms, and sheep herders, is under threat, and the future of this community is uncertain.
