UN CALLS ON ISRAEL TO ‘END UNLAWFUL KILLINGS’ OF PALESTINIANS IN OCCUPIED WEST
BANK

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 28 ( APP): The United Nations has asked Israel to “end
unlawful killings” of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, warning that the
human rights situation in the territory is worsening, amid levels of violence
not seen in years.

Bulldozers in refugee camps, detainees stripped naked and spat at, farmers
robbed of their harvest: against the backdrop of the war in Gaza the situation
in the occupied West Bank is “rapidly deteriorating”, UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights Volker Turk warned on Thursday.

Commenting on a new report on the West Bank released by his office, OHCHR, Turk
expressed concern at Israel’s use of military means and weapons by law
enforcement, movement restrictions affecting Palestinians and a sharp rise in
settler violence resulting in the displacement of herding communities.

“The dehumanization of Palestinians that characterizes many of the settlers’
actions is very disturbing and must cease immediately,” Turk said, calling on
Israel to investigate the incidents, prosecute perpetrators and protect
Palestinian communities against any form of forcible transfer.

The UN rights chief said that the new reports of violations repeat patterns
documented in the past but with a strengthened intensity. Since the start of
Israel’s bombing of Gaza on October 7, in the occupied West Bank, verified the
deaths of 300 Palestinians, including 79 children, the vast majority killed by
Israeli Security Forces (ISF) while eight were killed by settlers.

Prior to October 7, a record-high 200 Palestinians had already been killed in
the West Bank this year. In its latest update UN Humanitarian Affairs
Coordination Office (OCHA) stressed that 2023 is “the deadliest year for
Palestinians in the West Bank” since the UN began recording casualties in 2005.

OHCHR’s report notes a “sharp increase in airstrikes as well as in incursions by
armoured personnel carriers and bulldozers sent to refugee camps and other
densely populated areas in the West Bank” since October 7. It also highlights
the arrest of more than 4,700 Palestinians, including about 40 journalists, by
ISF, “in most cases not linked to the commission of a criminal offence”.

Some of the detainees were subjected to ill-treatment, the report says:
“Stripped naked, blindfolded and restrained for long hours with handcuffs and
with their legs tied, while Israeli soldiers stepped on their heads and backs…
spat at, slammed against walls”.

OHCHR’s report recalls that on October 31, Israeli media reported that “dozens
of pictures and video clips were published by Israeli soldiers depicting
themselves abusing, degrading and humiliating Palestinians apprehended in the
West Bank”.

Settler violence against Palestinians has surged in the occupied West Bank, the
report says, highlighting that between October 7 and November 20, OCHA recorded
254 settler attacks at an average of six incidents per day, compared with three
since the beginning of the year. These included shootings, burning of homes and
vehicles and uprooting of trees, OHCHR said.

“In many incidents, settlers were accompanied by ISF, or were themselves wearing
ISF uniforms, and carrying army rifles,” the report said. The findings include
armed settler attacks against Palestinians harvesting their olives, “forcing
them to leave their land, stealing their harvest and poisoning or vandalizing
their olive trees, depriving many Palestinians of a vital source of income”.

The OHCHR report notes that after October 7 “ISF… reportedly distributed 8,000
army rifles to civilian ‘settlements defence squads’ and ‘regional defence
battalions’ established to protect settlements in the West Bank” after many
Israeli troops were redeployed to Gaza.

Turk deplored the “continued lack of accountability for settler and ISF
violence” and urged Israel to grant his Office access to the country, adding
that “it was ready to report similarly on the October 7 attacks”.

Meanwhile in Gaza, the latest death toll as of midnight on Thursday stood at
21,110 according to the enclave’s health authorities with over 55,243
Palestinians injured in the enclave.

OCHA reported that heavy Israeli bombardment from air, land and sea, continued
across most of the territory on Wednesday while Palestinian armed groups
continued firing rockets into Israel.

According to the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA), 1.9 million people in
Gaza, or nearly 85 per cent of the population, are estimated to be internally
displaced, many repeatedly. On Thursday the agency stressed that new Israeli
evacuation orders in Middle Gaza are exacerbating displacement as “over 150,000
people – young children, women carrying babies, people with disabilities and the
elderly – have nowhere to go”.

OCHA noted that the lack of food and basic essentials as well as poor hygiene
are making the “already dire living conditions” of displaced people even worse
and fuelling disease.

UN emergency relief coordinator Martin Griffiths wrote on social platform X that
while infectious diseases are spreading fast in overcrowded shelters, “hospitals
are barely functioning” and hundreds of people with war injuries are deprived of
care.

“Gaza is a public health disaster in the making,” he warned.

According to UN health agency WHO as of Wednesday only 13 hospitals in Gaza were
partially functional. WHO noted that four of them in the north face shortages of
medical staff and supplies including anaesthesia and antibiotics, as well as
fuel, food and drinking water, while those in the south are at three times their
capacity.

Earlier this week WHO teams with partners delivered essential supplies to two
hospitals, Al-Shifa in the north and Al-Amal Palestine Red Crescent Society in
the south. The UN health agency said that its staff witnessed “intense” fighting
near the facilities and high patient loads. According to Gaza’s health
authorities, occupancy rates are reaching 206 per cent in inpatient departments
and 250 per cent in intensive care units, while tens of thousands of displaced
people seek refuge at the facilities.

WHO reiterated that hungry people stopped its convoys on Tuesday “in the hope of
finding food” and stressed that its ability to supply medicines, medical
supplies, and fuel to hospitals “is being increasingly constrained by the hunger
and desperation of people en route to, and within, hospitals we reach”.

While UN Security Council resolution 2070 adopted last week called for
immediate, safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale
directly to Palestinian civilians throughout the Gaza Strip, WHO chief Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “based on WHO eyewitness accounts on the ground,
the resolution is tragically yet to have an impact”.

“What we urgently need right now is a ceasefire to spare civilians from further
violence and begin the long road towards reconstruction and peace,” Tedros said.
