RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Consulate General of Sweden in the Palestinian territories decided to renew a monthly grant of $6,000 as part of the efforts to fight the practice of scrap burning in Idhna, a town in Hebron governorate in the southern West Bank.
Idhna Mayor Muammar Tamizha told Al-Monitor that the Consulate General of Sweden in the Palestinian territories officially communicated its decision to renew the grant for three additional months on Aug. 9. The grant, which was created in April and first delivered in May, pays the municipality-appointed inspectors working for a program to end the scrap burning and prosecute those involved.
