Dozens of Palestinian orphans and widows on Tuesday organized a sit-in in Nablus city in protest at Israel's closure of the humanitarian relief foundation al-Egatha al-Insaneya, which provides assistance for thousands of orphans.
Orphan children carried banners demanding the Israeli occupation authority to reopen the foundation and stop depriving them of living a decent life.
Director of the foundation in Nazareth Ra'ed al-Zoabi and deputy mayor of Nablus Annan al-Atira participated in the protest.
Zoabi told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the Israeli closure decision against the foundation, which was issued about one month ago, was illegal and made without prior notice, describing it as a politically-motivated measure aimed at punishing the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands.
He affirmed that the foundation is an independent humanitarian society that provides support for 32,000 orphans in the West Bank and Gaza.

Hundreds of men, women and children participated in a demonstration on Saturday evening for "the orphans' sponsors" in Kafr Kanna in the 1948 occupied lands.
The march was in protest against Israel's decision to close 17 of the Islamic Movement’s institutions, including the “Humanitarian Relief Foundation", which is concerned with the affairs of orphans and their sponsorship.
The demonstration, which was organized by the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel, started from "Othman bin Affan" mosque in Kafr Kana. The demonstrators chanted slogans and raised banners condemning the ban on the Foundation which supports orphans. Dozens of orphans, who will be deprived of their monthly allowances as a result of the Israeli decision, participated in the demonstration.

In the same context, a rally was organized, in which leader of the High Follow-Up Committee, Muhammad Barakeh, delivered a speech. He stressed that the Committee stands by the Islamic Movement and its humanitarian projects carried out for the benefit of the Palestinian people wherever they are; in the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza and the 1948 occupied lands.
He said that the Israeli decision to close those institutions is political and is a criminal and racist act.
He stressed on the need for solidarity and unity among the Palestinians against these decisions, which aim to hit the very existence and steadfastness of the Palestinian people.
For his part, the lawyer Hussein Abu Hussein, a sponsor for orphans, denounced the decision of closing these institutions, and said that it is an illegal decision, targeting Palestinians and the projects for orphans' sponsorship. He affirmed that humanitarian projects will not stop, especially the Islamic Movement projects, topped by those supporting Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque.
