West Bank: Israeli forces reportedly destroy Palestinian community in Masafer Yatta

Humanitarian partners are deeply concerned by reports that the entire community of??Khirbet at Tabban in the West Bank was destroyed today by Israeli forces.

Home to dozens of people, this is one of 13 herding communities in Masafer Yatta area of Hebron – comprising over 1,000 people – who are all within the 18 per cent of the West Bank that the Israeli authorities have declared as “firing zones” and allocated for military trainings.

These communities face longstanding demolition orders issued against all structures for being unlicensed, although Israeli authorities do not issue the necessary permits for Palestinians in that area. A dozen settler outposts have been established within the same area over the past two years, with settler violence adding to pressures on this and other Palestinian communities to leave.

Humanitarian partners are now mobilizing response efforts in support of those newly displaced, while also supporting vulnerable communities – who are under pressure to leave across the West Bank – in sustaining their livelihoods.

In this context, FAO??today that herders in the West Bank have received 3.3 million vaccine doses from the agency and the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture to safeguard livestock and their income over the past two years.?
