we were moving the shelters from the eviction zone to a location away from the bulldozers.

the destruction workers were guarded by a small army of armoured police standing close by, drawing their guns if we got too close. most of the police wrapped their boots with plastic against the mud.

we carried shelters with about 15ish people making it an easier load. we only moved the houses together with the owner.

guys living in the camp would passionately join us, yelling ‘allah achbar’ and then forcing themselves a spot to help carry the house.

at one point our progress was halted when the riot police moved their line of defense forward, making it harder for the trucks to come in to pick up the home.
