Gaza, ALRAY - United Nation recoded a 60% raise in Israeli demolishing process against Palestinian house since the begging of 2016 compared to the figure for the whole of 2015 , saying it is the largest number of structures targeted in any full year since 2008. 

United Nation Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) explained in a report published Wednesday that the total number of Palestinian structures demolished or confiscated by Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank raised to 878 since the begging of 2016. 

This constitutes 60% increase compared to 2015 , in other word it constitutes the highest number of demolishing properties since 2008, when OCHA began systematically documenting this phenomenon.

 
OCHA noted in a report that between 26 and 28 September, the Israeli authorities demolished 33 residential and livelihood-related structures in multiple locales across Area C and East Jerusalem, on grounds of lack of building permits. As a result, 35 people, a third of them children, have been displaced, and more than 100 have been otherwise affected.

The incidents took place in nine Palestinian communities, including Khirbet Tell al Himma in the northern Jordan Valley (Tubas); Huwwara and Beit Dajan in the Nablus governorate; Khan al Ahmar (Makab as Samn) and Abu Nuwwar in the Jerusalem governorate; Jurat al Kheil and Susiya in Hebron; and At Tur and Beit Safafa in East Jerusalem.

It added that five of these are Bedouin or herding communities, which are among the most vulnerable in the West Bank in terms of humanitarian needs.

It stressed in its report that due to discriminatory and unlawful planning processes, it is almost impossible for Palestinians to obtain building permits in the vast majority of Area C and East Jerusalem.

It warned that the systematic destruction of property in this context, along with other factors, contributes to the generation of a coercive environment pressuring residents to leave.
