ירחון מעקב הומניטרי | פברואר 2012

February’s incidents and trends highlight instability and insecurity affecting living conditions of Palestinians in the oPt. In the West Bank, greater numbers of Palestinians are being displaced this year due to home demolitions, and there are increasing pressure from settler organizations on the Israeli authorities to implement outstanding demolition orders. In Hebron City (H2), there are increasing reports of harassment of Palestinians by Israeli forces. In Gaza electricity cuts of up to 18 hours per day continue due to the disruption fuel supplies. The Israeli authorities’ slow pace of approval of projects requiring the import of construction materials undermines the UN’s ability to respond promptly to the urgent needs in Gaza.
