UN warns of imminent forced evictions facing Palestinians in Jerusalem
The United Nations has issued a warning regarding the dire situation faced by Palestinians in East Jerusalem, stating that a minimum of 970 individuals, including 424 children, are at immediate risk of being forcibly evicted as a result of legal cases filed in zionist courts.
Lynne Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, recently visited two elderly Palestinians who have resided in their homes since 1954. However, they now confront the disturbing prospect of being forcibly removed from their long-term residences.
Hastings emphasized the blatant violation of international law represented by this practice and called for an immediate halt to the forced eviction of Palestinians. For years, independent experts from the UN have persistently urged the international community to take decisive action in order to prevent the zionist regime's ongoing forced evictions and displacement of Palestinians in East Jerusalem. These acts are perceived as integral to israel's overarching agenda of annexation and the systematic erasure of Palestinian presence within the city.
The UN's warning sheds light on the urgency of addressing the plight of Palestinians facing imminent eviction, highlighting the need for international intervention to safeguard their rights and protect them from displacement. (ILKHA)
