<\/a>United Nations experts have reiterated calls for an end to Israeli attacks on displaced Palestinians in Gaza as well as forced displacement measures in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0issued on Monday by the UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR), the experts detailed several incidents in March in which Israeli air strikes set tents of displaced Palestinians in Gaza on fire, killing many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis cycle of displacement, terror, and targeted attacks serves an ultimate purpose: to make life unbearable for Palestinians and permanently force them from their land,\u201d the panel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vast majority of Gaza\u2019s population has already been displaced multiple times which amounts to forcible transfer,\u201d the panel said, adding that \u201ctargeting areas known to shelter displaced civilians is a grave breach of international humanitarian law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts noted that civilians in tents and makeshift shelters are already experiencing grave health risks, including hunger, freezing, flooding, and a lack of basic services. The panel said that \u201cwomen and children bear a disproportionate share<\/a> of deprivation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
