UNRWA says ‘no respite’ for occupied West Bank
The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees has said home and building demolitions have been ongoing in the occupied West Bank for 12 days, as the territory has been out of the global spotlight.
“Out of the spotlight of the regional escalation, camps in the northern West Bank have faced ongoing destruction, with dozens of buildings demolished in the last twelve days,” Roland Friedrich, director of UNRWA affairs for the occupied West Bank said in a statement.
“Even now, Israeli Forces are continuing to demolish homes and buildings in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams camps. “This is not just destruction: it is part of systematic forced displacement, a violation of international law, and a form of collective punishment.”
“Despite the delicate ceasefire now in place between Israel and Iran, there has been no respite for the #WestBank.
