Welcome أهلا وسهلا
We are a group which aims to build friendships, promote mutual understanding and encourage support for the people of Sabastiya.
The people of Hanwell, in west London, have visited and supported the ancient Palestinian village of Sabastiya for over a decade.
We are not “political” but we listen to the people of Sabastiya and will draw attention to their hardships and to the abuses of their human rights. We aim to support them as best we can, and so promote a better understanding of the Palestinian situation and an appreciation of the rich history and culture of Palestine.
About Sabastiya حول سبسطية
Sabastiya is a Palestinian village in the north of the West Bank, set in a fertile valley where figs, olives, almonds, grapes and other fruits and vegetables are grown. It is a fascinating village with a long and rich history and where, to this day, ancient columns built in Roman times still stand. It has a population of a little over 3,000 people, all living under the weight of military occupation.
