The Amos Trust has announced plans to rebuild a demolished home in the village of Battir, just outside Bethlehem.

Battir is famous for its beautiful agricultural terraces and unique Roman era irrigation system, which have been proposed as a potential World Heritage Site by the Palestinian Authority following their recent acceptance into UNESCO. However the village the terraces and the Roman site are all under threat from the Separation Wall and the surrounding Israeli settlements, which have recently been approved for expansion.

To see how beautiful Battir is, find out more about the village's plight and meet some of the community, watch 'The Villagers on the Line' - an 18 minute documentary available online here: www.ongoingnakba.org/en/west-bank/jerusalem-district-wb/battir/battir-v1.html
