Description

Bethlehem will light up its Christmas tree for the first time in two years on Saturday. The city’s economy is in deep crisis due to Israel’s repeated assaults over the past two years. That’s being made worse by severe Israeli restrictions that have also made it unreachable to tourists in the occupied west bank. This Christmas season celebrations is a call for help.
