Occupied Quds - Saba:
The United Nations expressed its concern today, Saturday, over the continuation of the "Israeli" aggression on the cities of the West Bank, especially in the north, for the second month in a row.
The official spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stephane Dujarric, said during a press conference that the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs continues to monitor the situation in the occupied West Bank.
He stressed that the UN office "remains concerned about the ongoing operations launched by the "Israeli" forces in the northern part of the West Bank."
He said: "Israel is carrying out its longest attacks since the early 2000s."
He pointed out that "the attacks of the "Israeli" settlers who usurp Palestinian lands are still ongoing."
The UN spokesman revealed that an average of 5 "violent attacks by settlers" were documented daily in the West Bank during the last week.
He explained that these attacks "caused damage to Palestinian property, and the settlers cut agricultural water pipes, which negatively affected the livelihoods of dozens of Palestinian farmers." Dujarric added, "The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs documented the displacement of approximately 2,300 Palestinians, including 1,100 children, throughout the West Bank since last year, due to settler attacks and restrictions imposed by "Israel."
