Civil Defense's statement about the Abu Nasr massacre [Original post] On October 29, 2024, Israeli occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Abu Al-Nasr family in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza. Civil defense teams were unable to reach the site as Israeli forces had prevented their operation in the north for 10 days. The strike targeted a densely populated house, resulting in 117 martyrs being buried in Beit Lahia cemeteries and 137 more still under the rubble. The total casualties from this massacre reached 255. The question remains: how long will civil defense be paralyzed, and how long will these massacres continue in northern Gaza?

There were about 300 people in the house when it was bombed The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported that the house sheltered about 200 people and collected testimonies from survivors and claims that an American MK-84 bomb weighing 908 kilograms was used. The information is yet to be verified by weapons experts, noting that no fragments of the bomb were found on the scene yet. One of the very few survivors , Muhammad Nabil Issa Baraka Abu Nasr, insisted in a testimony that the house was not struck with a bomb, but rather with barrel bombs . He added that they found family members were flung all across neigborhood buildings from the sheer force of the explosion. Another survivor stated to EuroMed HR Monitor that his wife and four children were among the dead.

Hospital Director Kamal Adwan on polio and the extreme health crisis [Original post] Dr. Hossam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, speaks about the conditions of the wounded amid the lack of specialized doctors and the unavailability of the polio vaccine in the North Gaza Governorate, which renders the first dose ineffective. He also addresses malnutrition, famine, and immune diseases that have started to appear due to the blockade, and his expectation of further deterioration in the coming hours and days unless the blockade is lifted, allowing the passage of specialized medical teams and the delivery of essential medical supplies. مدير مستشفى كمال عدوان، الدكتور حسام أبو صفية، يتحدث عن أوضاع الجرحى في ظل عدم وجود أطباء متخصصين، وعن عدم توفر تطعيم شلل الأطفال في محافظة شمال غزة مما يفقد الجرعة الأولى فاعليتها. كما يتحدث عن سوء التغذية والمجاعة والأمراض المناعية التي بدأت في الظهور بسبب الحصار، وعن توقعه لمزيد من التدهور خلال الساعات والأيام القادمة ما لم يتم فك الحصار والسماح بعبور أطقم طبية متخصصة وتوصيل المستلزمات الطبية الضرورية.

To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

Israeli settlers and soldiers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut [Original post] Nablus | West Bank 🚨 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: West Bank Observer] [Location: West Bank > Nablus > Qaryut] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta. On November 4 in Burqa, Settlers invaded a Palestinian land to burn their olive trees. Two farmers defend their land by throwing stones on the settlers who are lightly wounded. On November 2 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus.

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October.

UNIFIL Non-Intervention: UNIFIL forces do not intervene and remain in their positions. October 4, 2024 IDF Orders Irish UNIFIL Withdrawal: IDF requests Irish UNIFIL personnel to vacate a position; both UNIFIL representatives and the Irish government decline. October 9, 2024 Disabling of UN Surveillance Systems: IDF soldiers reportedly disable video surveillance, lighting systems, and a radio repeater at UNIFIL bases UNP 1-31 and UNP 1-32A in South Lebanon through small arms fire. October 10, 2024 IDF Fires on UNIFIL Positions: Israeli troops open fire on three UNIFIL positions, including the main base in Naqoura. Two Indonesian peacekeepers are injured when an Israeli tank fires on an observation tower. IDF demands the immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5 km of the Israel-Lebanon border; contributing countries decline the request. October 11, 2024 IDF attacks the Naqoura base again, injuring two Sri Lankan peacekeepers and damaging the perimeter wall. UNIFIL bases suffer heavy damage during clashes between IDF and Hezbollah. International Condemnation: France, Italy, and Spain release a joint statement condemning the attacks; the U.S. government calls on Israel to cease attacks on UNIFIL bases.

Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryout near Nablus [Original post] Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryout near Nablus, locals say. Settler attacks often increase around the harvest season. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @RZabaneh] [Location: West Bank > Nablus > Qaryout] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta. On November 4 in Burqa, Settlers invaded a Palestinian land to burn their olive trees. Two farmers defend their land by throwing stones on the settlers who are lightly wounded. On November 2 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus. On October 30 Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryut near Nablus. On October 28 Israeli settlers storm agricultural lands near Ramallah and set fire to olive trees. On October 27 In the morning - a Palestinian's car is burned while picking olives near the town of Kablan, southeast of Nablus. In the evening - in the square at the entrance to Huwara, same governorate, soldiers or settlers, raided the area. On October 26 In Hebron / Al-Khalil, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family during the olives harvest in Hebron, stoling the olives & sheets which the family use to pick the olive. On October 25 Beit Jala area, Israeli army prevents Palestinians from harvesting olives on private land, using stun grenades at close range against activists assisting with the harvest. EU and allied diplomatic officials joined Palestinian youth in olive harvesting at Kufr Nimeh to show solidarity amid rising settler attacks. Since October 1st, settlers have reportedly vandalized, burned, or cut down about 600 olive trees in 15 West Bank communities. UNOCHA recorded 51 settler-related incidents affecting 57 communities. EU Statement : The EU urged Israel to protect Palestinian farmers and ensure a safe harvest, stressing that perpetrators of violence, harassment, and intimidation should be held accountable. On October 22 A large groups of settlers carried out a progrom against the residents of Jalud, a village near Nablus . They set fire to homes, vandalized vehicles, killed livestock, and and physically assaulted villagers. 2 Palestinians were injured in the face and another suffered a skull fracture during the attack. Sheep were slaughtered On october 20 In Burqa , near Ramallah, soldiers prevented the olive harvest by using stun grenades and making threats.

On October 18 Settlers open fire and launch tear gas at residents and volunteers harvesting olives in Kafr al-Labad , east of Tulkarm A settler attack on the residents in Susiya village, Masafer Yatta , one solidarity activist was injured. Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024. The Israel Defense Forces has suspended a deputy commander in its 334th Battalion and opened an investigation. Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land. Qusra , Israeli settlers further forced citizens to leave the olive fields, and seized a vehicle used to transport them and transport the olives after the harvest. On October 13 : Burin just outside Nablus, teenage settlers are beating olive trees and stealing crops from Palestinians.

They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Specialized surgery teams are urgently needed, as the injuries are severe and require advanced medical intervention. Due to the detention of medical staff and the lack of ambulances, many critically injured are left to die on the streets. Dr. Abu Safiya appeals for a humanitarian corridor to bring in medical delegations and ambulances as the devastation in northern Gaza intensifies.

Troops detained 44 male medical staff and some patients, damaged several buildings, and allegedly disabled generators and oxygen stations, resulting in the deaths of two children in the ICU. previously, Medics refused evacuation orders, citing over 600 people inside. Kamal Adwan Hospital was one of the remaining hospitals providing basic healthcare services to patients and the injured in northern Gaza, but it has now been left without any medical staff after they were abducted by Israeli forces. Sources : October 25, 2024 Israeli forces besieged the hospital during two weeks, raiding it on Friday October 25 when it ordered all patients and medical staff to gather in the hospital’s courtyard. Dozens of health workers from among the 600 Palestinians trapped inside the hospital, were detained. “Following the detention of 44 male staff members, only female staff, the hospital director, and one male doctor are left to care for nearly 200 patients in desperate need of medical attention,” the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Director-General Tedros Adhanom, said on X on Saturday. The hospital director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, was amongst the medical staff rounded up by Israeli forces but he was released in the following day. However his son was murdered by Israeli forces. World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said “we have lost touch with the personnel” at the hospital and called the raid “deeply disturbing”. He wrote in a post on social media platform X, that the hospital “has been overflowing with close to 200 patients – a constant stream of horrific trauma cases. It is also full of hundreds of people seeking shelter”. Below are images depicting the aftermath of the raid, showing men stripped to their boxers and blindfolded, surrounded by Israeli tanks and soldiers Dr. Hossam Abu Safiyyah, Head of the Hospital (in the middle) is complying to the evicition order A quote from Israeli Channel 14’s army and defense correspondent confirms the arrests: “Fighters of the Saber Battalion of the Givati Brigade operated in the terrorist house Kamal Adwan in the north of the Gaza Strip, and pulled out from there terrorists … and other Hamas officials. During the battles, the fighters killed dozens of terrorists.” Statement of The Palestinian Ministry of Health "Israeli forces forced displaced male individuals to remove their clothing and arrested some. They gathered and detained medical personnel in one room and called a number of these staff, including the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, to where the Israeli forces were located in the hospital courtyard.

Multiple sanctioned settler Moshe Sharvit attacked the farmer and his family during the olive harvest [Original post] Multiple sanctioned settler #Moshe_Sharvit did not manage to sabotage the olive harvest at Hamra yesterday but prior to our arrival he attacked the farmer and his family. #olive_harvest_palestine_24 #north_jordan_valley [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid, Activists] [Found by: @JVActivists] [Location: West Bank > Jordan Valley > Hamra] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters.

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Troops detained 44 male medical staff and some patients, damaged several buildings, and allegedly disabled generators and oxygen stations, resulting in the deaths of two children in the ICU. previously, Medics refused evacuation orders, citing over 600 people inside. Kamal Adwan Hospital was one of the remaining hospitals providing basic healthcare services to patients and the injured in northern Gaza, but it has now been left without any medical staff after they were abducted by Israeli forces. Sources : October 25, 2024 Israeli forces besieged the hospital during two weeks, raiding it on Friday October 25 when it ordered all patients and medical staff to gather in the hospital’s courtyard. Dozens of health workers from among the 600 Palestinians trapped inside the hospital, were detained. “Following the detention of 44 male staff members, only female staff, the hospital director, and one male doctor are left to care for nearly 200 patients in desperate need of medical attention,” the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Director-General Tedros Adhanom, said on X on Saturday. The hospital director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, was amongst the medical staff rounded up by Israeli forces but he was released in the following day. However his son was murdered by Israeli forces. World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said “we have lost touch with the personnel” at the hospital and called the raid “deeply disturbing”. He wrote in a post on social media platform X, that the hospital “has been overflowing with close to 200 patients – a constant stream of horrific trauma cases. It is also full of hundreds of people seeking shelter”.

During the battles, the fighters killed dozens of terrorists.” Statement of The Palestinian Ministry of Health "Israeli forces forced displaced male individuals to remove their clothing and arrested some. They gathered and detained medical personnel in one room and called a number of these staff, including the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, to where the Israeli forces were located in the hospital courtyard. All of these individuals are currently unaccounted for after losing contact with them.The Ministry of Health demands that international organizations urgently intervene to protect the medical personnel and patients present there without water, food, or medical services." October 26, 2024 Israeli forces withdrew from Kamal Adwan Hospital, releasing 14 detained medical personnel, including the hospital’s director. Dr Abu Safiya described in a video message, the “extremely catastrophic” situation at the hospital. “After the army’s withdrawal, about 31 people from our medical staff were either taken or arrested, which has now left us with very few numbers,” he said. The Palestinian health ministry reported Israeli airstrikes on Beit Lahiya killed at least 30 people, though no official confirmation followed. The ICRC stated the situation in northern Gaza is "extremely dire" and urged for safe evacuation passage and access to essential supplies for civilians.

"Olives are holy creatures for us" : settlers burned down a 92 year old Palestinian’s olive farm [Original post] Settlers burned down a 92 year old Palestinian’s olive farm This man was born 16 years before the invention of Israel. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Palestine Voices, Living conditions, Heritage and culture, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @AdameMedia] [Location: West Bank] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta.

On October 26 In Hebron / Al-Khalil, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family during the olives harvest in Hebron, stoling the olives & sheets which the family use to pick the olive. On October 25 Beit Jala area, Israeli army prevents Palestinians from harvesting olives on private land, using stun grenades at close range against activists assisting with the harvest. EU and allied diplomatic officials joined Palestinian youth in olive harvesting at Kufr Nimeh to show solidarity amid rising settler attacks. Since October 1st, settlers have reportedly vandalized, burned, or cut down about 600 olive trees in 15 West Bank communities. UNOCHA recorded 51 settler-related incidents affecting 57 communities. EU Statement : The EU urged Israel to protect Palestinian farmers and ensure a safe harvest, stressing that perpetrators of violence, harassment, and intimidation should be held accountable. On October 22 A large groups of settlers carried out a progrom against the residents of Jalud, a village near Nablus .

Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024. The Israel Defense Forces has suspended a deputy commander in its 334th Battalion and opened an investigation. Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land.

There are no safe places. Humanitarian and health care workers have been repeatedly attacked. MSF alone has had to flee 14 different health structures and endure 26 violent incidents since the start of the war. More than 1,000 health workers have been killed in the past year, including eight associated with MSF. An immediate and sustained ceasefire is the only way to stop the violence and bring lifesaving care to people who need it most. Under international norms and laws, civilians must be protected from violence and have the right to access humanitarian assistance, especially medical care.

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

NEW YORK/JERUSALEM, October 25, 2024 - "Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) denounces in the strongest possible terms the killing of Hasan Suboh, who had been working with MSF since 2019. He is the second MSF colleague to be killed in two weeks. Hasan, who was 41 years old and married with seven children, was killed the night of October 24 during Israeli military operations in Khan Younis, South Gaza. According to the Ministry of Health, this attack killed at least 33 people, including 14 children. Through its war on Gaza, Israel continues to show a fundamental disregard for civilian lives. There are no safe places. Humanitarian and health care workers have been repeatedly attacked. MSF alone has had to flee 14 different health structures and endure 26 violent incidents since the start of the war. More than 1,000 health workers have been killed in the past year, including eight associated with MSF. An immediate and sustained ceasefire is the only way to stop the violence and bring lifesaving care to people who need it most. Under international norms and laws, civilians must be protected from violence and have the right to access humanitarian assistance, especially medical care. Our thoughts are with Hasan's family and loved ones, and with all of our colleagues in Gaza."

Reporting: @MomenSomrain Filmed: 26/10/2024 Donate/Watch/Share elsewhere👇 [Tags: Homes, Agriculture, Bulldozer, Demolition Order, Property, Land theft, Ethnic Cleansing] [Found by: TVFreePalestine, @MomenSomrain] [Location: West Bank > Ramallah > Umm Safa] [Archivist Notes] Location and Context: Umm Safa is a village in the Ramallah district of the West Bank, facing severe land seizure by Israeli settlers and military forces. Land Seizure: Israeli settlers, backed by the army, have been expropriating private lands from the village, leveling and destroying agricultural areas, including olive and grape trees. Settlers brought bulldozers to prepare the land for illegal settlement expansion on Jabal al-Ras and Abu Tantur hills. Impact on Residents: The village has been under constant attacks from settlers and the Israeli army, with settler violence intensifying, especially since 2023. Settlers have fired live bullets at homes, disrupted daily life, and attacked the local school during school hours. Multiple Palestinian youths, including Mohammed al-Bayed and Abdul Jiwad Salah, were killed while resisting the settler invasions. Protests and Suppression: Villagers, alongside International or Jewish anti-sionist activists, protested the land seizures. These protests have been met with violent suppression by Israeli forces, using tear gas and stun grenades.

[Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @Issaamro] [Location: West Bank > Al-Khalil/Hebron] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning.

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

The ongoing hostilities in Gaza North and the Israeli raid on Kamal Adwan hospital hindering polio vaccination [Original post] Amid reports of a new Israeli military raid on a #Gaza hospital on Friday & ongoing hostilities hindering polio vaccination in the north of the Strip, @WHO pleaded again for the protection of health facilities and urgent medical evacuation of critically ill patients. #NotATarget [Tags: Hospitals, Water, Humanitarian Aid, Blocking Aid, Sanitation, Living conditions, Epidemic, Doctors & Volunteers, Human Dignity, Healthcare System, Appeals, Siege] [Found by: WHO, UNGeneva] [Location: Gaza > Jabalia > North Gaza > Kamal Adwan Hospital] [Archivist Notes] A second round of the campaign will follow, ideally within four weeks, to provide a second dose of nOPV2 to children in Gaza to stop the outbreak and prevent its international spread. To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old. The vaccination campaign will consist of three stages, the first in the central region of Deir al-Balah and will last three days, from October 14 to 17, and may be extended for an additional day. The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area". Second Step (October 19 to 22) in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt On the second day of the polio vaccination campaign in southern #Gaza: - 90,716 children were vaccinated 70,722 received vitamin A This brings the total number of children vaccinated since the start of the campaign on 14 Oct to 𝟒𝟐𝟎,𝟏𝟎𝟎, while 𝟑𝟑𝟗,𝟖𝟖𝟓 children have received vitamin A so far. Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2

Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds.

Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task. We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks to monitor and report. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property. Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701."* November 7, 2024 A UNIFIL convoy bringing newly-arrived peacekeepers to south Lebanon was passing Saida when a drone strike occurred nearby. Five peacekeepers were lightly injured and treated by the Lebanese Red Cross on the spot. They will continue to their posts.

This phase was crucial, aiming to vaccinate 119,279 children in northern Gaza, organized by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, WHO, UNICEF, UNRWA, and partners.

To repeat this ambitious intervention, reach enough children, and successfully stop further transmission of the poliovirus, WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA are calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to another round of humanitarian pauses, with unimpeded access to children in areas that need special coordination. Ultimately, they ask to a long-lasting ceasefire as all families in the Gaza Strip need peace so they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. They humanitarian association and NGO obtained the right to provide the second round of Polio vaccination from Israel. The last step, concerning the North seems however compromized by the ground invasion, the complete siege and the blockade of all humnitarian aid in the North of Gaza city. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3 Ministry of Health statement on October 13 On october 13 , while Israeli forces are surrounded the North of Gaza, the Ministry of Health announces the launch of the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip According to the Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majed Abu Ramadan, the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip will be launched the October 14 for children under ten years old.

The second phase will take place in Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, from October 19 to 22 The third phase will take place in Gaza and North governorates, from October 22 to 25 The second dose of the N-OPV oral polio vaccine will be administered, in addition to vitamin A, which strengthens children's immunity, helps them resist infection and helps improve vision and healthy growth. The campaign aims to vaccinate 591,700 children under the age of ten, and fixed and mobile teams will be deployed to carry out the campaign. The success of this campaign depends on a humanitarian truce to ensure the ability of all polio workers to work in a safe environment and allow families to vaccinate their children. First step (october 14 to 17) On october 14, a strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today. On October 18, according to , the first phase of the #polio vaccination campaign in central Gaza ha successfully concluded. With 181 429 children under 10 years vaccinated, and 148 064 children between 2-10 years received vitamin A supplements. 8 health facilities in the area will continue to provide polio vaccines for families who hadn't managed to bring their children so far. On october 20n UNRWA says over 181,000 children have been vaccinated in the central Gaza area during the 2nd round of the polio vaccination campaign. This comes amid thousands of people are stranded in northern Gaza with water and food running low. It stressed that UNRWA facilities continue to be impacted by Israeli military operations in Gaza enclave. According to Joe English, "Despite a - to put it mildly - highly complex situation in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF, UNRWA, WHO and the Palestinian Ministry of Health completed the second round of the polio vaccination campaign in 14 municipalities of Gaza’s Middle Area".

Third step (Gaza City and Northern gaza) The siege of northern Gaza, the intense bombings, the Israeli ground invasion, the completely blocked humanitarian aid have stopped the campaign in the northern part of North Gaza. All international organizations involved in the vaccination campaign have called for an immediate ceasefire. They recalled that without a vaccination rate of 90% of children, the polio virus could mutate and the epidemic spread to the entire population. They highlight the extreme humanitarian crisis affecting the population of the North, without food or water and facing a health system destroyed by Israeli aggression towards hospitals, aid services and civil defense. According to Hind Khoudary, on November 2, Gaza’s north, thousands of children will not get the polio vaccine because they are unreachable. Israeli forces are not letting UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health reach those besieged areas. Incidents: Hind Khoudary, reports on November 2 that the Polio vaccination centre was targeted with sound bombs in Gaza City, Sheikh Radwan Clinic. The bombing injured three children and caused great panic. from an Israeli quadcopter. There are a lot of fragments that fall after these attack injured at least three children. The polio campaign restarted despite challenges faced by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Palestinian Ministry of Health. They were denied access, previously unable to cross from the southern Gaza Strip to Gaza City. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director of WHO statement "We have received an extremely concerning report that the Sheikh Radwan primary health care centre in northern #Gaza was struck today while parents were bringing their children to the life-saving #polio vaccination in an area where a humanitarian pause was agreed to allow vaccination to proceed. Six people, including four children, were injured. A WHO team was at the site just before. This attack, during humanitarian pause, jeopardises the sanctity of health protection for children and may deter parents from bringing their children for vaccination.These vital humanitarian-area-specific pauses must be absolutely respected. Ceasefire!" On November 2, while large numbers of children rushed to Muscat Clinic in the Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City to receive polio vaccination, Israeli forces carried out an airstrike killing 1 people and wounding 7 others CHILDREN near the clinic, according to Motasem A Dalloul On November 3, The United Nations reports that a polio vaccination center and the vehicle of a UNICEF official involved in this weekend’s vaccination campaign came under fire despite a declared “humanitarian pause” in Israeli strikes.source : External sources : Source 1 Source 2
