Demolitions carried out by #Israeli authorities in the West Bank reached a 5-year high. 904 structures were demolished. This represents a 6% increase in the number of structures demolished and a 20% increase in the number of people displaced respectively, compared with 2020.

The table demonstrates that the number of demolitions recorded in the West Bank in 2021 is the highest since 2016. 900 of the structures were demolished due to a lack Israeli of building permits, which is impossible for Palestinians to obtain.

A bird’s-eye view on 2021 reveals that demolitions resulted in the displacement of 1,205 individuals, otherwise affecting a further 12,693 individuals. Particularly the period from July to December, under the @naftalibennett - @yairlapid government.

A total of 140 structures constituting humanitarian assets, including residential and livelihood structures, funded by the @EU_Commission @eu_echo or @EUCouncil Member States were demolished or seized in 2021.

The material loss of these targeted structures is EUR 331,031, which is more than 10% higher than in 2020 (EUR 300,233). Between 2016 and 2021, a total of 673 EU-funded structures were demolished or seized by Israeli authorities, representing an accumulative value of EURO 2.1 M.

Read @EUpalestinians report on concerning developments driving the forcible transfer of Palestinians in grave breach of #IHL. eeas.europa.eu/delegations/pa…

@IsraelMFA @cogatonline maliciously and arbitrarily deprived #Palestinians of 2 million EUR of humanitarian relief provided by the @eu_echo and @EUCouncilPress Member States. #Israel must cease the wanton obstruction of humanitarian aid and provide reparations to victims.

@NRC_Norway has called on States to consider measures of retorsion to enforce the cessation of demolitions, reparations to victims, and guarantees of non-repetition of wrongful destruction of property, including humanitarian aid, on the part of Israel.
