UN special rapporteur calls for end to forced displacement of Palestinian populations
The UN's special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories calls upon the international community to put an end to Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinian populations.
“I IMPLORE the diplomatic community, the UN and international organizations in the West Bank to intervene, including with their physical presence on the ground, to stop the ongoing and violent forced displacement of Palestinian communities,” Francesca Albanese wrote in a post published on her X account on Saturday.
In her post, she cited Israeli activists from Farsyia, a Bedouin village in the northern Jordan Valley, as saying that the Israeli settlers pass through Palestinians’ houses, threatening them and scaring the children so that the whole community decided to evacuate.
The activists’ comments came after Palestinian shepherds from the West Bank community of Umm Jamal finally surrendered and fled in fear.
"The women and children fled yesterday. The men are tearing everything apart, loading everything on a van, waiting for a truck. A very beautiful place. They've lived here for 30 years," Albanese quoted the activists as saying. "Here is it matter of death or life, help us."
The UN rapporteur emphasized that being on the receiving end of this call gives the term "helplessness", a different and more bitter taste.
“The assault on the Palestinian is total. And it will be unstoppable until we stop it,” Albanese pointed out.
Late in July, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said Israel’s forced displacement orders in the southern parts of the Gaza Strip are part of the regime’s genocidal war that led Palestinians to “actual death.”
The Geneva-based right group has previously said that the regime’s mass forced displacement campaign “has so far affected about 2,000,000 people in the Gaza Strip, most of them forcibly displaced multiple times.”
At least 40,074 Palestinians, mostly children and women, have been killed and 92,537 people wounded in the war that Israel began on October 7, 2023, following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.
