Eight Palestinian children dead in West Bank road accident
Bikya Masr Published in Bikya Masr on 16 - 02 - 2012

At least 8 Palestinian children died Thursday when an Israeli truck hit a Palestinian school bus on a West Bank road, police said.
Some 20 others were injured, Palestinian police spokesman Izzat Said told dpa.
The truck and school bus collided frontally at a chaotic junction between Jerusalem and Ramallah, near a Jewish settlement.
The bus then overturned and caught fire, police sources said.
An Israeli Police Spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed the accident.
He said a large Israeli police contingent had arrived at the scene and was investigating.
Palestinians face difficulty in traveling across the West Bank, thanks in large part to the wall erected by Israel and widespread traffic regulations that force Palestinians to move on certain roads and in certain vehicles.
