“These atrocities must end”

JVL Introduction

This statement by members of the UN Standing Committee on the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory needs to be read and taken seriously.  The desperate situation is outlined along with concerns about rebuilding, long term health needs, especially of those most seriously injured as well as the killing of UN and other aid workers. (To say nothing of the attacks on UNWRA and UN schools and other facilities) While their focus is mainly on Gaza they also state:

“Unnecessary and disproportionate force unleashed in the West Bank, combined with escalating settler violence, house demolitions, forced displacement and discriminatory movement restrictions, have caused increased fatalities and casualties.”
