BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- The Palestinian Authority ministry of social affairs threatened on Thursday to shut down 19 of 25 organizations under its supervision for various violations licensing rules and laws.
Majida Al-Masry, the minister, told Ma'an radio that the organizations, which were not named, were in disrepair and taking advantage of their clients in homes for orphans or the disabled and elderly.
The organizations' licenses were issued by the interior ministry, which is the sole authority with the power to revoke them, but the social affairs ministry's recommendation is for the 19 to be shut down.
Earlier in January, the PA's general prosecution shut down an unlicensed institute for the disabled in Bethlehem. Police said conditions in the residential center were dire, noting that the facility lacked electricity, heating and hot water.
