UN Warns of Drastic Rise in West Bank Violence
O Gabinete para a Coordenação de Assuntos Humanitários (OCHA) das Nações Unidas indicou que 2.200 cidadãos palestinianos foram obrigados, desde janeiro, a deslocar-se dos locais de residência devido a ataques de colonos e outras restrições de acesso, além de centenas de outros deslocados por demolições levadas a cabo pelas autoridades israelitas.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported a significant increase in violence in the West Bank. Since January, approximately 2,200 Palestinians have been displaced due to settler attacks and access restrictions, with hundreds more displaced by demolitions carried out by Israeli authorities. Last week alone, over 30 Palestinians were injured in settler attacks, which also caused widespread damage to property and livelihoods. OCHA noted that the current rate of settler attacks resulting in casualties or property damage, averaging six incidents daily, is the highest ever recorded. These incidents have escalated sharply since October 7, 2023, though high numbers of Palestinian fatalities were already recorded in the preceding months. Concerns about potential "ethnic cleansing" have grown, particularly as settlements are considered illegal under international law.
This report is crucial as it details a severe escalation of violence and displacement in the West Bank, with significant humanitarian implications.
