The Humanitarian Crisis in the Gaza Strip and the Occupied West Bank, Including East Jerusalem
The Israeli Minister of Finance instructed the Israeli Civil Administration to advance the enforcement of demolition orders related to the Palestine Refugee Bedouin community of Khan al Ahmar. The community, located east of Jerusalem in the E1 corridor slated for Israeli settlement expansion, is home to more than 700 Palestine Refugees. The UN Secretary-General condemned the decision of Israeli authorities to establish Israeli military facilities on the premises of the UNRWA compound in East Jerusalem, which was expropriated in January 2026, stating that he “urges the Government of Israel to rescind its decision and immediately return to the United Nations the UNRWA Sheikh Jarrah compound.”
