UNRWA calls for end to ‘increasing annexation’ of occupied West Bank
On X, the UN agency banned by Israel says that since October 7, 2023, “the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has also witnessed a sharp escalation in violence”.
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in settler and Israeli army attacks on the territory since Israel began its war on Gaza, it said, adding that one-fifth of the victims were children, according to the UN humanitarian office.
“The increasing annexation of the West Bank is happening steadily in a gross violation of international law,” UNRWA said, referring to the expansion and recognition of illegal Israeli settlements.
