Bethlehem – Ma’an – A Palestinian construction worker was injured whilst working on the illegal settlement of Tko’a, southeast of Bethlehem on Wednesday.

Khalil Ahmad Al-Tanh, 34, from the Tko'a village, was transferred to Hadassah-Ein Kerem hospital after a concrete pump fell on him, his brother Imad told Ma’an.

Sources at the Red Crescent further told Ma’an that one of their ambulances was dispatched to the scene but Israelis present prohibited them from obtaining access to Khalil.

An Israeli ambulance transferred him to hospital and could not identify his injuries, Imad said. The family has been unable to contact Khalil, he added.

Todd, I hate to bitch, but I see you as having a better forum to promote safety than the ACPA.

Should you maybe start doing something about all these accidents because of your knowledge and contacts in this Industry to help us as a whole, or just kiss ass and get a paycheck. We need someone.

Shall it be you?
