Ajith Sunghay, chief of OhchrThe Office of the Palestinian Territory (OPT) said UN News that climbing caused in-depth destruction of residential buildings in the southern regions of the governorate of North Gaza and in the northeast regions of the city of Gaza.
This has led to new civil losses and forced displacement. Local health authorities have indicated that 816 Palestinians had been killed between August 26 and September 1 – almost double the number of deaths from the previous week.
Nowhere
About a million Palestinians would remain in the north of Gaza, and he said that they were pushed into increasingly small areas west of the enclave.
“” Many cannot move – there are no safe areas and the movement is dangerous. Others are still trapped in eastern Gaza City, with humanitarian workers unable to reach them“He said.
Meanwhile, Israeli military attacks against people looking for help continued through the Gaza Strip, where humanitarian workers are still struggling to provide desperately necessary supplies.
Ohchr recorded more than 2146 deaths near the sites managed by the United States and the Gaza Humaninian Foundation (GHF), which started at the end of May, and along the ways of convoy.
Warning of the West Bank
Sunghay also stressed that growing plans of the Israeli government “extend sovereignty” to the occupied West Bank or effectively in annexed parties.
He recalled last July, the International Court of Justice (Icj) “Very clearly” that Israel has already incorporated large parts of the OPT-in particular East Jerusalem and zone C, where most of the colonies are located-in its territory, concluding that this is equivalent to an annexation.
Israel “did and continues to do so, with the relentless building of colonies and outposts and related infrastructure and with the Forced transfer of thousands of Palestinians of large expanses of the West Bank now controlled by the Israel forces and colonists“He said.
“He also did so by reshaping the West Bank with a large network of control points and doors that guarantee freedom of action for settlers while separating Palestinian cities and villages.”
Threat of additional expulsion
He warned that “Any declaration of extension of sovereignty on the West Bank will have other catastrophic consequences on the Palestinians– not only on their right to self-determination but also on daily life.
This would facilitate additional and massive expansion of colonies and the legalization of existing outposts and allow Israel to take total control of natural resources without any restriction.
“In addition, Israel’s objectives officially annex” as much as possible lands with the least Palestinian “as indicated by some of its leaders, would clearly place the Palestinians in the annexed areas of an imminent risk of expulsion thanks to increased violence of the colonists, the deprivation of political rights, the expropriation of land and the demolition of mass houses,” he said.
