The Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that the arrival restrictions continue to hinder the movement of people through the West Bank, explaining that during the month of Ramadan, the restrictions imposed by the Israeli authorities prevented thousands of Palestinian worshipers from reaching the holy places.
- 5 million pilgrims in the first ten days of Ramadan - the seventh day
- FAO: Sudan faces the highest level of hunger in its history due to the conflict - the seventh day
- European Commission: The "Syrian Support Conference" will be an occasion to exchange views with the authorities in Damascus - the seventh day
The UN office added that the closure of the Tayasir barrier since February led to the restriction of the movement of more than 60,000 Palestinians between the north of the Jordan Valley and the rest of Tubas Governorate, and access to the markets and workplaces and services were strongly restricted.
This came through the reports of the Humanitarian Coordination Office after it published teams to monitor the movements of people through checkpoints to determine the risks of potential protection and possible measures for the Palestinians to cross, with attention in particular to the most vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women and the elderly.
