[11 Dec 2013] UN slams israel for destroying Palestinian homes in occupied lands - English
The United Nations has criticized Israel for destroying 30 Palestinian properties in the Occupied West Bank. UN Humanitarian Coordinator James Rawly says the demolitions have resulted in the displacement of 41 people, including 24 children. Rawly says some of the families have been displaced for the second time in less than two weeks. Rights groups say the demolitions are aimed at grabbing more land for Israel\\\'s settlements and military projects in the occupied Palestinian Territories. Israel has built thousands of settler units in the occupied territories despite international condemnation. The settlements are considered illegal under international law.
