HRW: mezi lety 2000 a 2012 Izraelci zamítli 93% palestinských žádostí o stavební povolení

Od začátku okupace v roce 1967 Izraelci zbourali více než 48 488 palestinských staveb, uvádí Izraelský výbor proti demolicím domů ICAHD.

Okupační mocnost Izrael pro masivní demolice palestinských domů a vesnic udává stále stejný důvod: neměli stavební povolení.

Mezi lety 1988 a 2014 Izrael vystavil více než 14 000 demoličních příkazů pro palestinské stavby, uvádí OSN, která vychází ze záznamů izraelské civilní správy. Na demolici v této chvíli čeká více než 11 000 palestinských staveb na Západním břehu v okupované oblasti C (60% Západního břehu), kterou má Izrael pod absolutní kontrolou.

8 September 2015 – A new United Nations report shows that, according to official data released by the Israeli authorities, more than 11,000 demolition orders are currently outstanding in the 60 per cent of the West Bank over which Israel still retains direct control – known as Area C.

These orders – which affect an estimated 13,000 Palestinian-owned structures, including homes – are among the over 14,000 demolition orders issued by the Israeli Civil Administration between 1988 and 2014. 

Area C is home to some 300,000 Palestinians and 77 per cent of the demolition orders affect structures located on privately-owned Palestinian land, according to the report, produced by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Israel’s Discriminatory Treatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
 

Since 1967, when it seized the West Bank from Jordan during hostilities—and under a variety of governments, since the right-wing Likud party first came to power in 1977—Israel has expropriated land from Palestinians for Jewish-Israeli settlements and their supporting infrastructure, denied Palestinians building permits and demolished “illegal” Palestinian construction (i.e., Palestinian construction that the Israeli government chose not to authorize), prevented Palestinian villages from upgrading or building homes, schools, health clinics, wells, and water cisterns, blocked Palestinians from accessing roads and agricultural lands, failed to provide electricity, sewage, water, and other utilities to Palestinian communities, and rejected their applications for such services. Such measures have not only limited the expansion of Palestinian villages, but imposed severe hardships for residents, including forcing children to walk long distances for school, and leaving residents with limited access to medical care, which can often be accessed only by crossing multiple checkpoints, because there are no Palestinian general hospitals in Area C. Road blocks, checkpoints, and substandard roads delay ambulances and people seeking medical care, in addition to the costs they impose on the Palestinian economy. Since Palestinians need special military permits to enter settlements, usually as laborers, medical services there are effectively unavailable to them. In some cases, Israel’s discriminatory policies have forcibly displaced Palestinians from their communities.
