• According to the latest UN OCHA reporting, during the first eight months of 2022 a total of 590 Palestinian-owned structures have been demolished or seized, including 71 EU-funded assets, forcibly displacing 707 Palestinians, and adversely affecting 16,768 more across the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
• The increased use of live ammunitions and disproportionate use of force by Israeli forces across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has led to an alarming increase in Palestinians fatalities. With 84 Palestinians killed between January and 20 September, 2022 is so far the deadliest year for the West Bank since 2008. The same period accounts for 7, 564 injured including 747 children. Settler violence against Palestinians has reached a peak since 2005, the number of arrests and administrative detentions are at the highest since 2017 and 2008 respectively.
