Alongside the crisis in Gaza, the UN human rights office, OHCHR, warned that the situation is worsening in the Occupied West Bank, too.

Further demolitions of Palestinian buildings were reported on Monday and Tuesday, in Beit Sahur, Shu'fat and Nahhalin.

Since the start of the year, Israeli settlers have damaged water infrastructure in the West Bank more than 60 times, according to the UN relief office, OCHA. Herding communities have been impacted most severely. 

"There is an International Court of Justice advisory opinion, which asks the Israelis to end the occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory as soon as possible," said Ajith Sunghay, Head of Office for the Occupied Palestinian Territory at OHCHR.

"The harm that it causes to the Palestinians on their daily lives, on their family lives, on their rights is immeasurable, and this is happening by the hour," he added.
