In the?Occupied Palestinian Territory, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov, led diplomats representing?11?Member States on a field visit to the West Bank to witness the humanitarian impact of demolitions, displacement, water access restrictions and settler violence?and the response.

This area – and?the rest of the West Bank – has seen a rise in settler violence?and forcible?displacement.

OCHA reports that the?delegation?met affected Palestinians in two communities of the northern Jordan Valley – Ein?el?Beida?and Al?Hadidiya. The delegation also visited Hammamat al Maleh, which is one of 45 communities that have been displaced in full since 2023 due to settler violence and access restrictions. More than 60 per cent of the displacement linked to settler attacks and related access restrictions this year has occurred in the?Jordan Valley.

The delegation?visited?homes?that were?abandoned?when people were forcibly displaced, a demolished school that?had been built with?donor?funding, and water springs that have been taken over by Israeli settlers. They heard testimonies from Palestinian herders facing repeated attacks,?demolitions?and restrictions on access to grazing land.

Dr. Alakbarov called for solidarity and partnership to support the people whose lives, way of living and livelihoods are at risk.?He?stressed the importance?of?helping?vulnerable people stay in their own areas and the need for accountability for violence,?demolitions?and illegal use of natural resources.

Meanwhile, in Gaza,?humanitarian partners leading on safety report multiple incidents of airstrikes, shelling, navy?fire?and gunshots hitting residential areas. This?reportedly resulted?in casualties over the weekend.?The UN and humanitarian partners remind all parties that civilians and civilian facilities must always be protected.

Partners working on water and sanitation say raw sewage has flooded neighbourhoods in Khan Younis, following power failures linked to the shortage of lubricating oil for pumping station generators. This is compounding already severe public health and environmental risks. Partners stress that essential supplies – including engine oil and spare parts – must be allowed into Gaza urgently, as more critical facilities, including wells and desalination plants, are at risk of failing.
