The Palestinian Water Authority is demanding accumulated payments totaling approximately 62 million shekels from Northern Jordan Valley farmers, Shehab Wire reported. Large portions of the outstanding debt date back years and decades.

The demand arrives as residents of the Jordan Valley face intensifying pressures. Farmers in the region have not received the financial support the authority's action might suggest they require during a period of economic strain.
