Citizen Paul and Yahav on balcony over-looking Israeli settlement
On the day we met, we had attended a presentation by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Occupied Palestinian Territory. We were briefed on the humanitarian crisis and consequences that need to be addressed:
- Lack of protection for civilians and continuing violence
- Closure, movement restrictions and lack of access
- Political geographical and institutional fragmentation
- High Food Insecurity
- Continuous Decline in the Economy and Socio-Economic Conditions
- Agricultural Livelihoods Threatened
- Health-Care Quality Deteriorating; Mental-Health-Disorder Symptoms on Rise
- Access to Quality Water and Sanitation Problematic
- Basic education standards Deteriorating
- Palestinian Civilians at Risk and in Need of Protection
- Children Exposed to Violence and Rights Violations on a Daily Basis
- Increased Humanitarian Coordination Needed
- Gender-Based Impact of the Crisis
Following the meeting, Zohar took us to some key areas where Israelis have demolished Palestinian homes and expropriated land to build new Jewish-only settlements. Despite announced agreements otherwise, this practice continues to make the prospect of a two-state solution less possible.
HONOR, & EQUALITY FOR ALL
