Three Palestinians drown in olive oil pit


Three Palestinians drowned in a well full of olive mulch on Thursday after a boy fell into the pit and two men dived in to save him.

The freak accident at a village near Tulkarm occurred just a few days into the West Bank olive harvest season, where risks of injury are usually linked to clashes with Jewish settlers over access to olive groves.

The three drowned in a three-metre (13-foot) deep pool of thick liquid waste left over from the olive oil pressing process. Police took the owner of the press into custody for questioning.
