Christmas Eve in Palestine 2013, a day for Palestinians to bury a 3 year old child killed by Israel and a day Israel deliberately made at least 32 children in Palestine homeless, including a paralyzed 5 year old.
UNRWA condemns Israel's 'Christmas Eve demolitions' in the West Bank
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- "The United Nations Palestine refugee agency on Wednesday condemned Israel's latest demolitions of Palestinian Bedouin homes in the West Bank, which UNRWA said displaced 68 people."
"The latest demolitions in the West Bank, "the most recent of which occurred on Christmas Eve," have "severely threatened" the livelihoods of the families that lost their homes, "UNRWA Spokesman Chris Gunnes stated.
UNRWA stated that the demolitions that occurred near Ramallah and Jericho displaced 68 people in total, most of whom were refugees, and 32 of whom were children, that ncluded a five yr old girl who is paralyzed from the waist down."*
Two villages were targeted with demolitions, in Ein Ayoub, displacing 61, and in Fasayil al-Wusta displacing seven, Gunnes said.
"These are Bedouin communities who managed to weather the recent snow storms. Tents have been distributed by the Palestinian Red Crescent in coordination with the ICRC but this is hardly adequate considering night-time temperatures plunge to around zero. In addition, some 750 head of sheep and goats are without shelter at this crucial lambing season."
