Yesterday, #Israeli authorities carried out a massive #demolition in the village of Khirbet Homsa in the northern region of the #JordanValley, leaving eleven families—a total of 74 people, most of whom are #children—houseless. ImageImageImageImage
The #military brought six bulldozers to the small enclave, demolishing #homes, barns, tents, restrooms, #water tanks, #solar panels, and more. This huge act of destruction is clearly even more dramatic than the already cruel daily #demolitions and confiscations, as it wiped out ImageImageImageImage
all of the major #resources belonging to many people at once. A perfect illustration of the devastation Israel’s #demolition policies have made this year alone, this instance shows the level of devastation demolitions leave in the most vulnerable #Palestinian communities. ImageImageImageImage

Forced evictions & demolitions during #Covid_19 in Pakistan.
As “Eviction” contradicts the “stay at home” policy, the United Nations has called on member states & governments at all levels to stop all migrations & evictions at this time of pendamic covid-19.
@KarachiUrbanLab
The recent effects of the #COVIDー19 are causing a lot of problems around the world, especially for people who have suffered significant loss of #income. In such a difficult and critical time, ‘#home’ has become a ‘#defense’ against the #coronavirusPandemic.
States around the world are ordering people to stay “at home” to prevent the spread of Covid-19. But at the same time, many states are at risk of being evicted, while at least 150 million people worldwide are homeless and living on temporary shelters or sidewalks.

Residents in Ruai and Kariobangi were shocked waking up to demolitions on what is alleged to be disputed land.
The problem is the demolitions occuring during a pandemic with no way forward for residents.

The demolitions are wrong on grounds that currently we are battling a pandemic. Leaving citizens unhabited contradicts all directives of social distancing, and staying at home. It also increases risk of exposure of persons in the community to #COVID19 Image
While the courts had asked for status quo to be maintained till an official decision was made, the state in contempt of the court ruling carried out the demolitions overnight with no directives on what's to happen to citizens.
Going against court directives is not new in Kenya.
