Notes
Silwan is a Palestinian village, located immediately south of the Old City that encompasses multiple neighborhoods, including al-Bustan. The area, which falls within the so-called Holy Basin, has been a particular target of fierce efforts by the state and settlers to displace the indigenous Palestinian population.
Al-Bustan association was established to address the threat of demolition and eviction orders for dozens of families in al-Bustan neighborhood, the widespread arrests of children, the absence of playgrounds and parks, systemic negligence by the municipality, and the deteriorating economic situation.
