Palestinians sort through 8 years of mail held by IsraelFox News, Aug 19, 2018, Associated Press
JERICHO, West Bank – Palestinian postal workers in the West Bank are sifting through eight years' worth of undelivered mail held by Israel.
In recent days the Palestinian postal staff in Jericho has been sorting through tons of undelivered mail in a room packed with letters, boxes and even a wheelchair.
The Palestinians say Israel has withheld delivery of post shipments to the Palestinian territories through its national postal service since 2010. According to Palestinian postage official Ramadan Ghazawi, Israel did not honor a 2008 agreement with the Palestinians to send and receive mail directly through Jordan. Mail was indeed delivered through Jordan but was denied entry by Israel, causing a years-long backlog.
