More than 400 Palestinians displaced from the West Bank by Israel in six weeks
More than 400 Palestinians have been displaced from the West Bank due to Israeli demolitions in the first six weeks of the year, according to a senior UN official.
Between 1 January and 15 February, Israeli forces are accused of dismantling or confiscated 283 homes, displacing 404 Palestinians – including 219 children.
The Coordinator for Humanitarian and UN Development Activities for the occupied Palestinian territory, Robert Piper, described the findings as “alarming” and called on Israel to halt demolitions in the West Bank.
