It was a wonderful experience and a dream come true to visit Hebron and the Tombs of the Patriarchs.
The visit was spoilt by very young children including little girls constantly begging. This raises concerns of child protection and child welfare. Shockingly, adults around ( shop keepers and passers by) did nothing to send the children home or to call their parents or the police.
The constant begging also creates a poor image of the town and the Palestinian governance of the region.
The other complaint is of rubbish everywhere. By contrast, Israel is generally very clean and there are no children being used by their parents as beggars.
Please deal with these issues for the sake of the children and for the future of the town.
