Gaza: The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the continued Israeli aggression on the cities of the West Bank, particularly in the northern regions, which has persisted for the second month in a row.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the official spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stephane Dujarric, highlighted during a press conference that the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is closely monitoring the situation in the occupied West Bank. He emphasized that the UN office remains concerned about the ongoing operations launched by Israeli forces in the northern part of the West Bank, marking Israel’s longest attacks since the early 2000s.
Dujarric pointed out that attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian lands continue unabated. He revealed that an average of five “violent attacks by colonists” were documented daily in the West Bank during the past week. These attacks have resulted in significant damage to Palestinian property,
with settlers reportedly cutting agricultural water pipes, adversely impacting the livelihoods of numerous Palestinian farmers.
Furthermore, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has documented the displacement of approximately 2,300 Palestinians, including 1,100 children, throughout the West Bank since last year, attributed to settler attacks and restrictions imposed by Israel.
