2nd Batch of Palestinians Stranded in Jordan Return to Their West Bank homes

Allenby crossing, also known as al-Karama, is a bridge that spans the Jordan River and connects the West Bank with Jordan.

The second batch of Palestinians who were stuck in Jordan began returning to their West Bank homes earlier this week after Jordan has opened Allenby bridge crossing to allow the return of stranded Palestinians.

Nazmi Muhanna, director of the crossings in the Palestinian Authority, was quoted by Wafa News Agency as stating that while 350 Palestinians returned home on Sunday, it is expected that around 500 will return on Monday and more in the following couple of days, before all those stuck in Jordan due to the coronavirus outbreak are able to come back home.

The returnees are systematically checked at the crossing to make sure they are not infected with the coronavirus disease and are then ordered to stay in home quarantines for 14 days as an extra precaution.

The bridge is the sole designated exit and entry point for West Bank Palestinians traveling in and out of the Israeli occupied territories.
