At 6.40 am on 22nd November 2006, IWPS received a telephone call from residents of Al Funduq regarding a housing demolition. The army and bulldozers proceeded to the site of the fifth demolition. Three human rights workers joined the family of approximately 10-15 people on the roof. The family was extremely distressed. They were wailing, crying, and two young men were lying shaking on the roof. Two medics arrived and treated the men and an elderly woman for what appeared to be an extreme emotional response to their traumatic situation. After around 30 minutes, and whilst the medics were still treating 4 people, the soldiers entered the building and forcibly removed everyone, including the people being treated.
