Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, I wish to draw your urgent attention to the current escalation of repression and use of collective punishment by the Israeli authorities against the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>&quot;The situation in the Gaza Strip, in particular, is a matter of greatest concern owing to the increasing resort to warfare tactics by Israel, the occupying Power.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to a press release by the Gaza Center for Rights and Law of 13 February 1993, and <u>The Washington Post<\/u>&nbsp;of 16 February 1993, a force of over 200 Israeli soldiers carried out a 13-hour military operation in the al-Arisha quarter of Khan Yunis, Gaza, on 11 February 1993, in search of fugitives and weapons.&nbsp;&nbsp;Large-calibre machine-guns, anti-tank missiles, dynamite and 40 mm shells were reportedly used in the attack, which destroyed 10 houses and heavily damaged nine others.&nbsp;&nbsp;Almost 200 Palestinians were affected, and 18 families were rendered homeless.&nbsp;&nbsp;It should be pointed out that the homes were attacked after being searched, showing that the destruction did not serve any military purpose.&nbsp;&nbsp;While this is reported to be the largest attack of its type to date, there has been a dramatic escalation of military assaults in recent months, resulting in severe damage to the homes of 62 families since July 1992.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>&quot;Recent information collected by human rights organizations also shows growing reliance on excessive force by Israeli troops against Palestinians, resulting in a rapid increase in facilities in the past six months.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to an analysis conducted by B&#39;Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, the overall number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces rose 63 to 76 between August 1992 and January 1993, a rise of more than 20 per cent over the previous six months.&nbsp;&nbsp;Two thirds of the killings were reported to have occurred in non-life-threatening situations, as opposed to one half during the previous period; and fatalities among children were reported to have almost tripled, from 6 to 17.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to <u>Middle East International<\/u>&nbsp;of 5 February 1993, many of the children were either shot in the back or were the victims of carelessness by the army in situations which could have been handled by non-lethal means.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a recent incident, reported by <u>The Christian Science Monitor<\/u>&nbsp;of 10 February 1993, nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops in four days, the most violent days in more than two years.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"white-space:pre; font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>&quot;The Palestine Human Rights Information Center, based in Jerusalem, in a press release dated 22 January 1993, reported that at least 60 fatal shootings in 1992 were carried out by Israeli undercover soldiers and should be classified as extrajudicial killings.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to eyewitness accounts, these killings typically take place without warning; victims are denied the opportunity to surrender; victims are shot even when unarmed or with hands in a position of surrender; victims are shot or beaten until dead even though they have been captured or wounded.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span

again to express alarm at the increasing repressive measures by Israel, the occupying Power, in violation of its obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and numerous Security Council resolutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee urgently appeals to the Security Council to take the necessary measures to provide appropriate protection to the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution 681 (1990), until a permanent, durable and just solution

the situation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a result of the deteriorating security and economic situation, saying that &#39;the worsening situation in the Gaza Strip over the last three months is cause for grave anxiety&#39;.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<span

or damaging 16 houses in search for wanted persons; 26 families consisting of 179 members, were affected by the operation.&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of homes destroyed and heavily damaged as a result of Israel&#39;s policy of using anti-tank rockets during searches for wanted Palestinians has greatly increased in recent months.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since 1 December 1992, there have been 11 such operations, which have destroyed or heavily damaged 68 homes.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman,

at any time in nearly three years.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since last December, 13 children under the age of sixteen have been killed by security forces and over 250 injured by live ammunition.&nbsp;&nbsp;With the increase in deaths and casualties in the Gaza Strip in recent months, UNRWA emergency medical services &#8212; particularly ambulances and emergency clinics &#8212; have treated over 1,000 persons injured in clashes with security forces.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fatalities in December, during which 17 persons were killed, were the highest since May 1990.&nbsp;&nbsp;Eight Palestinians have been killed by security forces so far this month, two under the age of sixteen.&nbsp;&nbsp;In mid-December, 167 Palestinians from Gaza were deported.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div

font-size:smaller\">\t<\/span>&quot;The worsening of the security situation has been compounded by Gaza&#39;s deteriorating economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;In December 1992, Gaza&#39;s fragile economy suffered when the Israeli authorities sealed off the Gaza Strip and imposed extensive round- the-clock curfews.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agency has estimated that losses in wages alone amounted to about $25 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;About 40 per cent of Gaza&#39;s workforce is without regular employment, the worst job situation in decades.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div

December, the Agency distributed emergency food rations of flour, rice, cooking oil and sugar to almost half of the families in the Gaza Strip when the closure of the Strip and curfews prevented breadwinners from earning income.&nbsp;&nbsp;The UNRWA has provided families whose homes have been destroyed with tents, blankets and food.&quot;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div
