"(I) temporarily fix the tank with screws and glue"

"The pandemic has further restricted Palestinians’ options in terms of salvaging their water supply. Buying new water tanks is a costly endeavour for a population that faces financial hardships as a result of Israel’ restrictions on movement and employment. Furthermore, the Israeli soldiers have made this violation routine, in much the same way as it has normalised other violence. The only option remaining for Palestinians is to carry out frequent, temporary repairs of the water tank. 'I cannot pay 500 shekels every time they shoot at a water tank. So, every time they start shooting, I close the main tap and temporarily fix the tank with screws and glue.' ”
