Report: Jewish Settlers Blocking Palestinian Access to West Bank Water Sources 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A new U.N. report says Jewish settlers in the West Bank have seized
dozens of water sources and are using violence and intimidation to block
Palestinian access. The report found 56 springs that were under some
degree of settler control, including 30 that were claimed completely.
Some Palestinians said they were afraid to approach water sources out of
fear of violence from settlers.
