JORDAN VALLEY, (PIC)-- A delegation from the Office of Humanitarian Affairs in UN (OCHA) launched on Wednesday an investigation into the death of sheep and cows belonging to Bedouin citizens in Jordan Valley and Tubas after being poisoned by Jewish settlers.

The OCHA's delegation pointed out that the United Nations has been concerned at the killing of livestock in the Northern Jordan Valley, and that the visit aims to find out the truth of the matter and send reports to the UN Office in order to take the necessary action and stop such dangerous acts in the region.

The delegation met with the owners of the sheep and cows and listened to their testimony about the incident.

The affected citizens pointed out that the occupation has been continuously chasing the cows and sheep in Palestinian grazing and confiscating them, then imposing heavy fines on their owners to retrieve them.
