Thanks to contributions from international supporters - the first laundry in Dar ElHanoun!

A first laundry in Dar ElHanoun: thanks to generous contributions from supporters in Europe and the US, the residents of Dar ElHanoun have been able to purchase a power generator and two washing machines. The new laundry is used by all the residents, who have so far been using primitive washing facilities: manual laundry, or machines without water heating working on solar electric panels. This is the first time that standard washing machines are used in the 80 years old village. This situation is due to the refusal of the State of Israel to connect Dar ElHanoun to the electricity grid.

The residents and the members of the ICDH are thankful for the organizations and activists who have made the new laundry possible:
Haëlla
Sivmo
Humanitarian Aid Amsterdam
Action group Heemstede
Negev Coexistence Forum
