‘The United Nations has accused Israel of illegally demolishing the homes of 77 Palestinians, mostly children, this week in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. In the past three days, 77 Palestinians, over half of them children, have been made homeless, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement issued on Friday evening. Some of the demolished structures were provided by the international community to support vulnerable families. Demolitions that result in forced evictions and displacement run counter to Israels obligations under international law and create unnecessary suffering and tension. They must stop immediately, said OCHA.’
