ABOUT 50 people were able to meet two Palestinian farmers at a public meeting held by the Worcester Palestine Friendship last week.
They heard from Riziq Abu Nasser, an olive farmer from Deir Istya on the West Bank and Taysir Arbasi, director of Zaytoun, a community interest company finding a market for Palestinian produce in the UK.
£325 worth of Zaytoun produce was sold at the meeting and one staged earlier at Worcester University. Donations of £127.80 were also made.
The next Worcester Palestine Friendship public meeting is on Tuesday, June 12, at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Pump Street.
